I made four different IPAs. Two with 05 and two 04. Same wort, but two different french press 'late' hop additions.
First dry hoping came out more like a very hopped pale ale. The 05 gave the best hop aroma and taste. Tasted smooth. 04 gave a English biscuit taste with some hop aroma.
Second dry hop I doubled the hop amount. The 05 gave strict hop bitterness taste. No real taste of sweetness. The 04 shocked me. The English biscuit taste was not there. I tasted a pleasant grapefruit taste along with a nicer aroma.
I just wanted to share my experiences
