Hi there folks;
I'm making an NEIPA right now, but on a very tight schedule. I brewed it yesterday (Thursday) and pitched a swollen pack of 1318 at 10pm (beer at 66°F). Now I have to leave for three weeks tomorrow (Saturday) at 6am.
My plan was to directly dry hop before leaving; heart of the fermentation, biotransformation, yaddi yaddi. I also thought; well, let's not have a soup of hops for too long, so I was planning to set it to 55°F.
What are your educated thoughts on that schedule? Is it too risky to leave the dry hop for 3 weeks in there? Would 1318 misbehave at 55°F? Would you just RDWHAHB?
Thanks!
