Good afternoon,
I have recently brewed an IPA and is currently fermenting in my 6.5 gallon carboy. I plan on transferring it to the secondary in in about 14 days. The kit came with some hops for dry hopping with a hop bag. This is my first beer that has included dry hopping. I see a lot of videos on YouTube putting in the hops before siphoning the beer to the secondary, but should you use the hop bag? Is it a pain to get the hop bag out of a 5 gallon carboy? Also, is there a high possibility of getting hop residue in the beer while bottling from dry hopping? Any way around this to keep the clarity of the beer?
Thanks.
