I have a NEIPA fermenting right now with Voss Kveik. Due to a rookie mistake on my part, the yeast didn't really kick in until the temperature had already dropped down into the low-mid 80s, and it's been fermenting right around 79. Needless to say, it is taking longer than I originally estimated and I've now had dry hops in the fermenter for 7 days. I've read that if you leave dry hops in too long they can give some off flavors - should I remove them? The airlock activity has dropped precipitously in the past couple of days so I don't think it will take more than another day or two (last reading was 1.020 on Tues 8/25 - planning to check it again tomorrow). The hops are in muslin bags, so it wouldn't be too hard, I just want to minimize oxygen exposure as much as possible (at this point in time I only have a bottling setup - have had success bottling NEIPAs in the past and would like to keep it that way
)
