I don't claim to be the expert of homebrewing. But i've always secondaried to dry hop and have never had oxidation issues with my beer. I will continue to do this because though i am not concerned with appearence, it do appreciate a pretty looking beer and secondarying does clear the beer some.

I also feel more confident that i get more hop utilization out of the dry hop by racking my beer onto the hops, rather than throwing hops in the fermenter.

I also "dry-hop" onto any fruit, coffee, wood, etc... when i do any flavoring additions to any beers.

And, if it gets bogged down here, you can always go to www.homebrewtalk.com or byo.com for more information. Trust me, i know what it's like when you first get the brew bug. I've been doing it for 4 years now and i still get excited every time i brew.

Thank you. If you were dry hopping with pellets, did you just throw them straight in and then rack or do you use a bag? Also, assuming you use a carboy to secondary, is head space a concern for you? I can't remember at the moment but I think my carboy might be more than 5 gallons (which is the amount I brewed).
