    I’m doing my first DIPA and the beer is currently fermenting. I am seeing a lot of information in threads on dry hopping after a week or so, my brew kit gave my no information about that. Should I invest in dry hops and add them after 7-10 days of fermentation? Also, I am debating on whether or not to do a secondary fermentation (will it make a big difference!?)

    Again, first time doing this, I am looking for advice and suggestions.

    there's no real reason IPAs need to go to a secondary. I do think they are better with dry hopping. I'd do it in primary and then cold crash the keg to help get everything settled to the bottom for easy transferring to keg or bottles.
