dry hop question

[Dillinja666]

So my ph has stabilized, but my beer fermented hot so it has those apple esters in it. I'm going to leave it in primary for another 3 weeks. Will dry hopping now hurt the reduction of those esters? Is there any benefit dry hoping now opposed to a week before bottling?

Thanks

I'd wait till a week before bottling to dry hop. You'll get more hop aroma that way. Let it sit & clean up those off flavors first.

Thanks, was just curious how the extra time would effect the beer

Dry hopping for too long will cause grassy, vegetive off flavors. I'd never recommend dry hopping for over ten days. A week seems ideal from what I've seen.

Thanks! My job makes me break stuff to see and know how it works. That's why I ask weird questions like I do.

Edit: and that got me thinking, will leaving the hops from the boil in the primary the entire time, will it cause the same grassy, vegetative taste?
