I have always done the 2/3 week thing i'm going to check gravity again today if it has not changed I'm going to keg it. This is a experimental batch anyway was not going to dry hop this one.Why such a long process?
IPAs are best enjoyed young, keeping them on the yeast for 3 weeks is going in wrong direction.
fwiw, my typical IPA/DIPA batches hit terminal gravity within 4-5 days from the pitch (and sometimes just 3 days).
Four more days for the final dry hopping with a temperature bump to 68°F, two days for cold crashing before kegging and putting on CO2, and they're ready as soon as a spot in the keezer opens up...
Cheers!
I guess I forgot the cold crash part I will do that and keg on Monday.
10/4take another reading before you cold crash. If it is any lower than 1.011, wait a little longer to make sure it is finished.
