I made up a batch pf Pedroheart's beer time capsule(https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/beer-time-capsule-374386/) last weekend (2/18). The OP said to "ferment for 72 hours or untill dead. As of drawing a sample for testing last night, fermentation was still going strong. About an inch of krausen, and bubbling away in the airlock. My question is:
I added .5oz of northern brewer whole hops for a 30 min miniboil. As of drawing the sample yesterday, the beer had reached about 3.7%abv and still tasted really sweet with no noticeable hop notes.
I can post the SG numbers after I get home and look at my notes.
Will the small amount of hops be suficent to balance out the residual sweetness in the end or should I consider dry-hopping during keg conditioning? If the awnser is to dry-hop, how much of what kind of hop should I use?
Any input from those more experianced than I is welcome.
