I'd do the dryhopping in primary. Too much moving around will increase the risk of infection or oxidation.
3 months conditioning should be plenty :)

Thanks LE, stick with the plan so I will, Did the Bulldog Red Cat as my second ever brew and it was good, Like em strong I do !!

Hopefully this will be nice come xmas, gonna drop down to my dads garage once carbed to condition and keep at arms length :)

Dropped Hops Bags into this on Wednesday evening, checked for f.g while at it down to 1.012 so should be done, been in FV since 29th Aug., Did notice last night though that the lid had bubbled up again (dont use airlock just seal bung hole with rubber bung and sterile tin foil) I'm guessing the hop bags started another small bit of fermentation, tested fg again about same, had a sip too, not bad at all very promising,

Hoping to bottle Sunday Afternoon
