I'm curious if any one here has experience with dry hopping a beer 4-6 weeks after fermentation is complete.
I usually brew 10 gallons but my upcoming schedule has me not drinking beer for a couple of weeks. My plan was to ferment in 2 5-gallon carboys, dry hop a small amount during fermentation then take one 5 gallon carboy dry hop as normal, and transfer the other 5 gallons to a keg and keep cold (35degF). Then, about 4-6 weeks after kegging, I'll warm up to 55degF or so and dry hop in the keg as usual. It seems like it should work, but hopefully someone here has done this before and can share their outcome. All comments are welcome!
