I have never dry hopped and now have a 10 gallon batch of an APA going in a conical. The recipe requires dry hopping.
Can I dry hop right in the conical after fermentation completes?
I have the ability to drop the temperature if necessary to ensure the yeast drops out if that is something that would help.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

Sure. That's what the pros do. No need to crash cool it. Just wait until the vigorous fermentation dies down so you don't lose aroma with the CO2. |

Hmm. I'm not sure why you would consider even racking to secondary if you have a conical. Since you can dispense of most of floculated yeast in a conical, at that point it essentially becomes a "secondary." Anyway, I also rarely secondary ales, and often dry hop in primary after fermentation is complete. Works well. |
