I know that brewing beer is all about your personal taste. However, if I dry-hop this beer, I may ruin a perfectly good thing. I have a great IPA in the fermenter at 72F and it smells amazing.
1 oz Centennial (60 min)
1 oz Centennial (15min)
0.5 oz Citra (15 min)
1.5 oz Citra (1 min)
I was planning on dry hopping with an oz of Simcoe and and oz of Citra tomorrow but the beer is arguably the best aroma I have ever smelled in an IPA. My question is, should I dry hop? Will this smell diminish as I condition in the bottles? I would hate to dry hop and then ruin what I have, but it would also be nice to know if I dry hop it now, that the added aroma from the dry hopping will do nothing but help my cause.
Thanks guys,
