Dry hopping ?

[bamamckay]

Can I dry hop in my primary, or must I move it into my secondary?

You can dry hop in your primary. Rule of thumb is make sure fermentation is complete before doing so.

I think it's common to dry hop in the secondary for a minimum of 5-7 days.

but yeah, what he said. You /can/, just make sure the vigorous fermentation is done first or the CO2 venting will carry away all your aroma too.

I dry hopped my last IPA in primary. I waited 2 weeks to make sure fermentation was done, threw the hop bag in and left it in for another week. It came out excellent.

I have bought into the no longer using a secondary except for fruit and things, but dry hopping to me is just easier in the primary.

I always do a 4 week primary, dry hopping at the end of week 3. Good clear results.
