Can I just dry hop (pellets) straight away as soon as wort is transferred to the primary, or should I let the yeast do its thing and dry hop after beer has been transferred to the carboy?
Do you plan on a secondary? Dry hop after racking, some say boil a "hop tea" in a pint of water for 5 mins, or use a sterilized grain bag. I always just tossed in the amount of pellets I wanted, no complaints yet
Agreed. Dry hop in your secondary. Pellets are fine. just be careful racking. You can also use a hop bag in the secondary if you are concerned with sediment and loss.
