I've got an all-Centennial IPA that I'm planning to dry hop.
I've previously racked to a secondary and dry hopped that way.
But here's the thing. I'm not real worried about clarity--or an extra week in the primary...
So the plan right now is to give it two weeks in the primary--hopefully confirm that fermentation is wrapped up.
Then just drop the hops (pellet) right into the primary and give them 5 - 7 days.
Then rack and bottle.
Any reason to believe the pellet hops won't settle out if I do things this way? Or am I inviting any problems I just can't think of?
Just trying to keep it simple. And keep my would-be-secondary free for more brew!
