Help Support The Homebrew Forum:
Assuming they have finished fermenting you can dry hop now.. I work it backwards from when I plan to bottle , so I would dry hpo 4-5 days before bottling day.
How much depends on how hoppy you want it you could go for 20-30grams for a normalish size dry hop

i should have said my FV doesnt have a tap on it
Up to you, a lot of people have a trial / test jar which they will get a bit of the beer out using either a tap which you dont have or a turkey baser type instrument..
Quite honestly, I steralise/ sanitise the hydrometer and drop it straight in..

For American style pales, I'll typically be adding around 5g/litre for the dry hops.
