I've been brewing a little over a year and have about 30 batches under my belt. I make hoppy beers a lot and employ a variety of schedules for my hopping needs. I enjoy in your face hoppy beers that have complexity and balance at the same time.
I've recently begun questioning flameout additions vs dry hopping if I'm already aggressively hopping a beer. I usually dry hop over flameout, but often use the two in conjunction. What differences, if any, will I achieve doing one or the other? I imagine a little more taste from the flameout and a little less aroma as it's being driven off in the primary?
I know some will respond just do both and I completely agree with this mindset. I'd just like to better understand the differences between the two. Thanks.
