oregon state did a study that showed that hop flavor/aroma can be measured in hours, not days. I dry hop for three days at room temp and try to swirl the beer a few times a day to re-suspend the hops. you can do the bud light-dry hop experiment described on bertus and see what works for you. dry hop a beer for 3 days, 5 days, different dry hop temps, hop amounts, whatever - go nuts, experiment!

edit: btw I could never get this to work by recapping, too much pressure! I just pour the beer into a mason jar, add hops and screw on the lid.
