I made Yoopers Pale Ale last weekend and am getting ready for the dry hop portion. I have never done a secondary in all of my roughly 15 batches. I have a couple of questions -
1) From what I have read, it is important to siphon to another fermenter before dry hopping - is that correct?
2) I have roughly 5.5 gallons in my primary fermenter and only have an ale pail bucket and a 6 gallon better bottle as fermenters that will fit that amount. Is it alright to use one of those or should I get a 5 gallon better bottle for my secondary?
I think that is all the questions I have for now.. thanks!
