Im trying to make adjustments to my recipes, allowing for the shortage of the C hops.
When I think of Galena, Nugget, Pearle, etc I think of only bittering. I happen to have some supply of these and Im wanting to get some more hop nose in some of my standard recipes. Two questions:
A) Can these hops be used as a late addition (less than 5 minutes) or dry hopped in the keg to achieve this?
2) Can I back-load these bittering additions to get more flavor (I.E. - Foregoing the 60 minute additon and adding more hops at 30-40 minutes or less to achieve same IBU's, but get more flavor/aroma)?
Anyone have experience using bittering hops as flavor/aroma enhancers?
