Like it says on the box.
I've done 2 batches of the same Hop Head Red clone a week apart using 2 different methods (M1 was BIAB with no lift and fly sparge, M2 was 1V BIAB with no bag and fly sparge) M1 was at FG after 2 weeks, when it was dry hopped and bottled a week later. M2 has followed the same regimen, but after the 7 day dry hop, I'm still about 1.0 Brix above FG (0.004sg). Stupidly, I didn't take a gravity reading before the dry hop, assuming it would follow the same ferment from the same sg.
From what I can see, I have 2 options.
1: I can leave it in the primary with the dry hops for another week
2: I can rack into secondary and away from the 90g of Amarillo I put in there last weekend.
Can someone with more experience than I give me some pros and cons for each option?
Any advice, abuse, and "Do a search FFS" taken with appreciation and good humour.
Cheers,
