DryHop for 0 Days

[oldsccorpio227]

Hi. I found a recipe where it said DryHop for 0 days. What would be the purpose of dry hopping for 0 days? It won't add any flavor or anything. Just trying to figure out if I want to leave it for a bit longer. TIA

Probably a typo.

What type of beer is it or can you share the recipe?

Pale Ale

I would guess whoever posted that had some recipe-making program and forgot to put in how long to dry-hop for. You are correct in that there would be no point in 0 days.

Just a recipe designer's oversight. However that does make me question the legitimacy of the recipe across the board for that reason as well as the recommendation to transfer to a secondary after 4 days.

Since the dates are cited, you can figure that the dry hop period is during secondary - the full 10 days, or less on the far side of it between Aug 10 and Aug 20, 2021

It's not dry hop FOR 0 days, it's dry hop AT 0 days.. and it probably means to dry hop as soon as you put it in secondary. Or it's a typo but that's my interpretation.

Not likely. It's from beersmith and in that software the dry hop window looks like this:

In Brewfather, it's a choice. The time entry can be marked as "on x day" or "for x days".

Yes 0.0 in that recipe is the how long time, I am using version 3.2.7 and hop for 0.0 days is the default in Beersmith. The add hops box is different for my view, not sure what version you are using or the mobile perhaps. Looks like this for me

and you can adjust the way you are referencing when the dry hop starts and the phase with the pulldown. Also, the recipe author would have the ale, two stage option set under the fermentation box located on teh Design tab. That is also a default I think and maybe that wasn't what was used. Probably some of these defaults could be set differently for when a new recipe is added. I don't always remember to change everything myself once I have the ingredients, mash and water set. I almost never get around to setting the carbonation tab for instance. Recipes can be set to public in the cloud and perhaps the OP is grabbing a recipe that way. Just be aware you might be grabbing a recipe that wasn't completely proofread.

Ahh ok. I'm used to the recipes saying when to dry hop. Not for how long. I purchased Beersmith but hardly use it.
