Dry Hops

[brooksiepgm05]

I have an ESB in the fermentor now and its been there for 5 days. Just checked the SG and it dropped 75 % so I am close for bottling. I just dry hopped for the first time. How long should the hops sit in there before I bottle? Any help out there guys would be great. Thanks,

Typically dry-hopping is done in the secondary fermenter. If you really want to get a good hop-aroma, I'd let them sit in the fermenter for a couple of weeks at least. The beer will be fine.

1-2 weeks is normal for me.

Same here.
