Could you include us more corny challenged and add "Primary only" "Secondary Only"

Does the aroma remain for a long time afterwards or does it subside as the keg goes on?

Can't see a way of editing the poll sorry

ive gone off Daabs advise. Transfered from my primary at the weekend into another fermenter with airlock. added the dry hops and will then transfer to a corny this weekend.

1st go at this myself.

I have dry hopped with Bramling X until the end and it was really nice but I don't know if that would be the same with all hop varieties...

I only left them in a keg once and thought the flavour went a bit oily towards the end.

A working week or full week in secondary for me, although I've skipped dry-hopping with my first two AG brews because I want to judge more how the bittering and aroma hops are working first.

I was reading up on dryhopping awhile back and the article I was reading said to maximize flavor and aroma to dryhop at least 21-28 days.......can't remember where I read it at though

Dry hopping

Do you dry hop until the end of the keg or take it out part way through?
