I understand people who leave their beer sit around for 3+ weeks in the fermenter and that's what I've been doing for beers that aren't dry-hopped. For dry hops, though, I'm confused if I should add the hops at the START of the aging period or at the END. When do you add dry hops?
1. After the krausen falls and the beer is approaching final gravity
2. As soon as the beer reaches final gravity for 3 days
3. After the beer has been settling out for a while (2-3 weeks) and clarified
Also, after dry hopping for a week or so, do you take the hops out and let the beer 'age' even more, or do you immediately bottle / keg?
