Ok, so I made two five gallon batches of beer over the weekend (one hefeweissen, the other an IPA, my second and third batches ever). This is my second time doing the IPA recipe, but this time I decided to dry hop in the primary fermenter. I don't plan on doing a secondary at the time, so with that aside, I've done a little reading after pitching the yeast and realized I made a rookie mistake!
I added 2 oz of centennial and 1 oz of chinook right after i pitched the yeast... it appears most (or all) of the aroma will be gone, will the flavor be too? Do I run the risk now of getting grassy flavors from the hops if it takes more than 10 days to ferment? Has anyone else made the same mistake, and if so, how did your beer turn out? I am contemplating adding more of the same hops after the kraussen falls back down.
Should I be worried that this will ruin my beer (it was very tasty last time!), or just note the correct way to do it and brew it again soon!?
