Do you dryhop non-IPAs?

Just curious if many members here dry-hop beer styles other than IPA.

yes, hops make the world go around.

Here here!

sure - it's not unusual at all to dry hop with goldings in all of the english styles, minus porters and stouts. I'm sure others will post more examples.

I didn't know that you could not dry hop a beer

Sometimes. Dry hopping can be a bit overwhelming in a lot of styles, though, so more often than not, I'll lean on a flameout addition and let that steep for 20 to 30 minutes before chilling

I'll certainly dry hop some PA's, Redhook style ESB and any beer that seems overly bitter to me.

I've dry hopped lots of stuff. It can have a very nice and subtle effect when used in small doses.

Most of my APA's are dryhopped

NOM nomnomnom

Just curious... I've never found Red Hook ESB to be hoppy at all (actually quite malty for the style) and just assumed that they don't dry hop it at all. Anyone know for sure?

I've never dry hopped my ESBs.


To answer the poll question, yes, I dry hop APAs.

I do too!

It certainly depends on the style I'm going for, but yes, I've been known to dry hop in beers other than IPAs.

Rouge's Dry Hopped Red is a good example of a commercial beer where they dry hop even though the style doesn't necessarily call for it.

I just did my first dry hop on a Kona Firerock Pale Ale clone.

I answered "no" because I just dry-hopped my first batch a few days ago and it's an IPA. So I've never dry-hopped something that wasn't an IPA

I've never dry-hopped before, but it seems like something I'll be doing more often than not in the future.

i'm going to be dry hopping an american brown ale with 2 oz of centennial in the next few days.

I'm dryhopping the hell out of a double hefeweizen tonight.

I wonder where our fascination and love of dry-hopping will lead?

New categories? Anyone for a hop-lager?

I made a Belgian golden strong ale that I dry hopped with goldings for 4 days. It really came out spectacular. Also my own recipe of APA.

I dry hop most pales and reds.

that sounds delicious. please post back with the results!

I dry hop a number of different beers of different styles. I'm making a double ESB in a few weeks and I'll dry hop with Phoenix hops.

I dry hop my porter with Goldings.

Three Floyds' Gumballhead is the perfect example of a non-ipa that has been hopped and dry hopped to high hell. Its an American wheat that has 5 seperate amarillo additions, and a 1.5oz dry hop. God god damn, its a tasty beverage.

i dry-hop ipa's, and some apa's is all

I'm looking to dry hop an upcoming imperial stout. I know you've all had the first of the Sierra 30th Anniversary ales that came out. That stout had an amazing hop aroma to it. I'd love to make something like that.

I dry hop a couple of Pale Ales.

Dry hopping ESB is not exactly to style. Plus Red Hook ESB is not really very bitter.

Dude, you actually had to ask this crowd. I'm surprised to poll isn't 100%.:rockin:

I realize not everybody is a hophead. However, if you wanted to collect the highest concentration of hopheads in one group, using HBT would be the fastest way to do it.

If I'm making a pale ale, it's gonna get dry hopped.

didn't read the thread, only the title but short answer ........

yes, pretty much every IPA, APA, American wheat I have made has some level of dry hopping. I am not sure why you wouldn't dry hop these beers??? especially if you have hops to spare .....

For me it's rare that I don't dry hop. I have a Saison w/ 2oz's of whole leaf Amarillo dry hopping right now. Some examples include American Brown, ESB, Pale Ale, Barleywine, Hefe, and even some Porters.

hell, i dry hopped my last jug of ICED TEA!

your crazy.

but on a serious note, wouldn't fermentation drive off a lot of the aroma? Not saying flame out hops are useless, but I have always thought they were for a different purpose than dry hops.

OP: I have only dry hopped IPAs, but I am considering dryhopping an american wheat with some cascades.

I just dry hopped a Saison with Amarillo that tasted great

Really? I've never detected that while drinking it. I'll have to remember that next time I'm drinking it.
