With it being a NEIPA I would try and avoid any exposure to oxygen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Yes, why the secondary? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 There is some thought behind transferring to get it off the yeast to help with the particles of hops not attaching themselves to the yeast particles making it a more bitter to taste then dry hopping with the cake in there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealthing691 Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 I always transfer to a secondary and never had oxidised beer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealthing691 Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 But on saying that I was just reading and now realise why you ask .As neipa;s are more open to it .I have done a few very hoppy beers but not as much dry hops as this and all the same process . So fingers crossed and when I transfer it always has a couple of points to drop we will see when its conditioned and is a small batch cheers for the mention anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Generally speaking there's no benefit in transferring to a secondary. It has its place but for stock standard beers it's a waste of time and effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
