I'm brewing my first NEIPA so no expert. I brewed and pitched the yeast on 25th March, OG 1.054. I added the dry hops after 5 days (30th March) after high Krausen but still fermenting. Checked gravity today and was 1.024 so I'm leaving it for another 2-3 days before I retest. I think it's got a few points still to go.
Edit: 1.024 should be 1.014. Bit of finger trouble :tinhat:

1.020 is pretty high, I dont know the grain bill but I would expect it should ferment lower, make sure your temps are in range. I personally dry hop after fermentation is done and the beer is chilled down. I dont want the hop enzymes breaking down long chain dextrins and starting another fermentation (Hop Creep) so I will add once beer is under 10degrees and the yeast is dormant.

NEIPAs are slightly different in that there is a school of thought that dry hopping at high krausen can induce biotransformation to create different flavour and aroma compounds, although it seems a lot of commercial brewers are not doing this anymore.

Just checked my notes from when I did this kit last year. I dry hopped at 1.016 and it got down to 1.008 (possibly 1.010 as I was in a rush so somewhere between those) that’s when it was bottled.
