Already done
American 2 row base
crystal 40
table sugar added
5oz chinook
1 oz 60 min
1 oz 30 min
2 oz 15 min
1 oz flameout
currently at around 8% 2 weeks into primary
To be done
have 2 oz simcoe to dry hop with
Question
1) Ive done a lot of reading on here (thanks everyone) and it seems like the aromatic/floral hops start to dissapear starting about 1 month in. Yet high alcohol beers need to age. Should I let the IPA mellow in the primary for awhile (as in a couple months) then dryhop w simcoe? Or should I just wait until fermentation is done and dryhop right away?
