Title pretty much says it all - I want to try doing a wet hop hop bursted IPA. Has anyone done this before/had any success with it? I didn't find much on a few searches. The only concern I have is that some people say wet hops add some grass overtones, so hop bursting (adding a ton at like 20 minutes or less) might impart too much grass...does that seem like a legitimate concern or not?
I could do this two ways - bitter with dry hops (I'm thinking sorachi ace) and hop burst with the wet hops (which will be citra); or just hop burst with a ton of wet hops (probably citra and chinook).
Regardless, the latter is something I'm more interested in but if there's a problem with too many grassy flavors/aromas, would doing the former method counteract that problem sufficiently?
