dry hopping

[jpr210]

what would happen if i were to dry hop in my primary as opposed to secondary? has anyone ever tried this or do ye of experience have some reason why this would be a shytty idea?

I dry hop in secondary, but many people here dry hop in primary with good results. Just make sure you've reached FG before adding your dry hops.

To build on the above post, you have to wait for the krausen to drop, or the hops might get coated with a yeast buildup.

It's actually the other way around. The hop oils will coat the yeast cells & sink to the bottom with them. That's why I wait for a stable FG,then dry hop in hop sacks 7-10 days. Less crud to clog the spigot,siphon,etc.
