One week after brewed checked gravity and at 1.002... tasted and its really dry I was going for honey Ipa. Planned on dry hopping with a 1/2 oz of cascade leaf and primming with same 1.5 lbs of clover honey before bottling... I think I used the wrong yeast for the flavor I was trying to get. Thoughts? Or do you think the honey I add before bottling will bring that flavor I want back?
