So I dry hopped my recent IPA yesterday
SG was 1.068, expected FG is 1.010 -1.012
Took a reading Sunday morning and was at 1038, figured I'd be safe to dry hop Monday arvo, just took a reading today (tuesday) and I'm at 1023 now. Did I dry hop too early? I'm estimating it must've been something like 1028 so I'll probably get some biotransformation. Do you think I'll lose too much aroma? Wanted to dry hop a bit before the end of the ferment to drive off any O2 that would be introduced.
Was going for a WCIPA but I can roll with it and do second dry hop and turn this into a DDH hazy IPA or do you think it'll be fine just letting it ferment out and I won't lose too much aroma from the earlyish dry hop?
See attached recipe. Only difference is that I was about 5 points down on pre-boil so added about 300grams table sugar to adjust, ending up 2 points over so thinking my refrac is out (I calibrated with water before reading but shouldn't have been over based on calculator in brewfather)
