Hey guys,
My second batch is just finishing up in primary, and I'm thinking of transferring to secondary today. I hit my FG after a little agitation a few days ago. The original recipe called for two hop additions, 1 oz cascade at the beginning, and 1 oz Fuggle for aroma. Obviously Fuggles have been in short supply, so they didn't include any with the kit. I ordered some German Tradition as a replacement, and I'm pretty sure I do want to dry-hop, but I guess I'm wondering what kind of timing I should aim for to affect the ultimate flavor.
Here's the kit in question: http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/ProdByID.aspx?ProdID=3365
Since it is technically a traditional brown ale recipe, will I funk up the flavor too much with more hops, or just give it that American hop-head flavor?
Thanks!
