Hello everyone,
Recently I brewed a Brewers Best Imperial IPA kit recipe. I noted that it didn't call for any dry hopping whatsoever. Being that I like hoppy beers, I want your suggestions.
Here is the recipe,
6.6LB light DME
3LB golden DME
1LB caramel 80L
8OZ Victory
4 oz Carapils
Then they called for 2 oz (60 min)of bittering, 1 oz of flavoring (40 min), 1 oz of aroma(5 min) (all columbus pellets w/ 13.9%AA)
After a few weeks, I just transferred it to the secondary. It'll sit there for about 4-5 wks before bottling.
First, do you suggest a dry hopping?, if so, how long into the secondary?
Second, what's your thoughts on 1 oz of Citra or I have available 1 oz of Simcoe.
I do like hop heavy beers, and this one is planned to age for awhile. I tasted it on the transfer and it did taste quite nice and smooth. Just wondering if it's nice to hop it up a bit more.
Prost.
