Hello all, I'm using an extract recipe for Scotch Ale. I'm not officially a hop head yet but i do like a hoppier beer. What if i didn't ad the Fuggle Finishing Hops (14.17 g.-- alpha acid 4.2%) for the last 5 minutes of the boil, but instead, dry hopped all or part into the secondary. Maybe a 50% boil, 50% dryhop. Any thoughts?

I like the 50/50 idea.Slam said:
Definitely want some short time boil there to get the flavor.
The dry hop will lend an aroma and mild flavor.

I concur with the 50/50 idea, but you might want to throw it in there at 10min or more. I find that less than 10min and it's adding more to aroma than to flavor....
