I have an English IPA just about done fermenting that I'd like to dry hop for three to five days. The hops used in the brew include Willamette, EKG and Styrian Goldings. The Willamettes I got from hops direct, and the EKG and styrian came from my LHBS. The EKG hops from the LHBS never look very good--kinda browner and less lively looking than other hops. And the styrians are only available as pellet. So I'm trying to figure out which of these I should dry hop with.
I have more of the Willamette, which I use as a fuggle substitute, but I'm not sure how they'd be as a dry hop. Any thoughts?
Alternatively I could just deal with dry hopping using the pellets of styrians--people do dry hop with pellets, right?
I'll probably avoid the EKG just because they don't seem super fresh.
