from my earlier post, this batch clocked in at 7 IBU's when I put the recipe into hopville. This was my first batch back after 5 yrs, so once I realized I would have an under hopped beer in all 3 categories (bitterness, flavor, aroma) after using only 1 oz of 3.2 cascades in the boil, I wanted to boost it.
I bought 2 more ounces of cascades, 1 for dry hopping and 1 for bottling. I figured 30 min would help with the bitterness as well as flavor, dry hopping took care of the aroma.
I put the hops in a muslin bag, and removed prior to racking, no issues with hop debris in bottles whatsoever.
I can't compare to dry hopping a week just yet. All I know is the flavor is excellent. I did another half batch of this with proper hops in the boil, no dry hop and no hop tea at bottling, but the hop tea batch is hands down better.
I hope the hop aroma doesn't change for the worse. I've never had a beer this drinkable after two weeks in bottles, though, so if it starts to go I will have BBQ with friends and do what we have to do.
