I found a recipe I like that looks like it should make a very bitter, tasty IIPA. The recipe calls for 1oz tettnanger dry hopping for 6 days.
My question is is this kinda thing flexible, i.e. do I *need* to remove the hops after 6 days or if fermentation isn't done yet is it ok to leave them? Or do I wait 2 - 3 days after pitching to add the hops, wait 6 days and then bottle or rack to secondary?
If I should remove them after 6 days, do I just pop open the bucket and strain them out? Or should I rack to a secondary?
(btw thanks to all the folks who take the time to answer questions from us newbies in this forum, this website has been insanely helpful to me!)
