1. Based on no hydrometer I assume I should let the primary process run longer then a week. I was going to go for two weeks just to be sure. Does that sound right? The kegs are in a dark spot with perfect controlled temp.
Yes, plan on two weeks for better results. You can go longer if you think there is an issue, but with a simple refill you should be golden at two.
2. I have read that if I want better beer I should not use white sugar in the secondary process, that it would be a better idea to use a little more HME in each bottle instead. Is this a good idea? And if so how much more HME should I use in each bottle? Or do I add more HME to the keg and then bottle adding more fermentable product prior to bottling?
If you mean the bottling and conditioning phase, just use sugar. The trace amount used to carb your beer will not make a difference.
3. I already have the bug and have order hops pellets of various kinds and will be here prior to the completion of my primary fermentation cycle. Can I add hops in a sack to the brew prior to bottling to add some flavor? Or is it only worth adding during the initial heating of the HME prior to starting the primary cycle?
Hops added at that point (dry hopping) will only add aroma, no flavor.
Good plan.4. I plan on being very patient on the secondary cycle and waiting 3-4 weeks in that phase un-refrigerated from what I read. Is this to long for an IPA?
5. I also assume that refrigerating for an additional two weeks would be a good idea as well. Do you agree?
Try one after 48 hours and then keep sampling every day or two to decide for yourself if 2 weeks of cold conditioning helps. Some will swear by it, others just use a few days in the fridge.
6. Finally on my next batch I intend on using two cans of HME in the primary stage with hops etc and so liquid yeast (better quality I guess based on the price lol) and a booster pack. In that case I am assuming a richer beer with heavy mouth etc. but my question is baed on all that fermentable material do I still need to add more HME or sugar prior to bottling to create carbonation in the secondary stage? Or is the extra HME in the primary stage going to leave enough unprocessed fermentable material to forgo the addition sugar or HME prior to bottling to create carbonation.
You will always need to add priming sugar regardless of how many fermentables you started with.
Cheers. And welcome!
