Crossing over to the dark side?

I usually praise the virtues of malt, only to give balance to our Guild. However, I'm dry hoping for the first time...

This is my first Black IPA. Yoder, are you proud of me?

Did you rack on the hops yesterday? Brick convinced me to go with the sealed transfer technique, so I got my first dry hop in a keg last night.

Nah, I just dropped the loose cones into my secondary and racked with a autosiphon cane on top of them. There are several methods of doing this, I went with the simplest for the first time.

I'm a liar, or very forgetful. Actually when you forget you lie....

I made a Scotch ale back in 2007 that we dry hopped and he reminded me.
