Made a Neipa last Wednesday with an OG of 1.064 and pitched 2x verdant yeast packs that evening ant 20c, Friday night checked the gravity and was down to 1.018 so put in my dry hop of 180g and let it build to 10psi.
Checked the gravity over the last 2 days and it is 1.014 so should be done.
So the question is.
I like to keep my dry hops to 3 days and then cold crash but seeing as the whole fermentation has only been going 5 days should I leave it longer to let the yeast clean up especially as the large dry hop may cause hop creep hence diacetyl.
Or cold crash and be happy.
Cheers
