Trying to get ideas for dry hopping my Arrogant Bastard clone. I have 2x 5g carboys finishing off now, both with the same yeast. I figured I would at least dry hop one, if not both of them with diff hops just to have something different. Of course one of them I was considering more Chinook, but I wanted to see if anyone else had suggestions for good dry hops. I've come across people using Amarillo, Centennial or Cascade, but does anyone else have any suggestions from experience with AB/Chinook.
I'm really not into the really spicy/earthy/smoky taste, and much prefer the piny/citrusy taste, so I'm wondering if dry hopping with more Chinook may even make it too harsh? Maybe I should just do a citrus hop to try and balance it?
Also I'm going to bottle 1 batch and keg the other. Any suggestions on if I should dry hop the ones that get bottled, since they will take some conditioning? Or keg the dry hopped(throw in fermenter or just directly in the keg-I have whole leaf Chinook)
Here is my dry hop schedule:
2.8oz @ 60
1.5oz @ 30
1.5oz @ 0
10g - 1.082 SG
Thanks
