So I just brewed the Northern Brewer Black IPA kit on Wednesday. Everything has gone smoothly thus far. However I will be going out of town next week and probably won't be back for 5 weeks or so. I am a little concerned about losing some of the hop character in those 5 weeks. I do plan to follow the recipe and dry hop with an ounce of Cascade a week before bottling. Should I really be concerned about losing hop aroma and flavor in those 5 weeks?
