SO I brewed an all grain Yellow Snow IPA clone with a lot of cascades on Friday the 3rd with some us-05. THE fermentation was never vigourous which concerned me, but its still going after 4 days at a steady clip. My problem is one of time. Im hoping to have this beer carbonated and ready to drink by Christmas eve. I plan on dry hopping 2 oz of cascade and am trying to figure out my timing. I dont want to move it to the secondary until its really done fermenting since I dont want to lose aroma due to blow off, but I also dont want to have a shortened dry hopping session so it doesnt get as much aroma in the final beer.
If I do 2 oz of cascade in the secondary for 3 or 4 days will that not be enough time? if I ahd to cut one thing short waht woud it be, time in the priary, or dry hopping in secondary?
Its a heavily hopped IPA so im not worried about it being to green since i figure the hops will domimainte so much that any greenness wont be noticed.
