First time I've done this so stay with me here.
I just racked that 11% ABV IPA I brewed into my secondary to let it age so the alcohol flavor will mellow.
My question is this: How long should I let it sit before I dry hop and bottle? Also, will I need to add more yeast before I bottle or will the corn sugar reawake what yeast is left?
I asked this in another thread but got no answer to those specific questions. I just didn't know if it should age in the secondary fermenter or in the bottle? If it's better in the secondary to age I want to know how long and will it effect carbonation.
Thank you.
