Would you Dry Hop this Amber Ale?

[JoeSpartaNJ]

Like the title says. Here is what I brewed up:


Ingredients:
------------
Amt Name
6 lbs 8.0 oz Golden Promise (Simpsons) (2.0 SRM)
2 lbs Munich Malt (9.0 SRM)
1 lbs 12.0 oz Victory Malt (25.0 SRM)
1 lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM)
8.0 oz Brown Malt (65.0 SRM)
4.0 oz Roasted Barley (300.0 SRM)

0.50 oz Nugget [13.3 %] - Boil 60.0 min
1.00 oz Centennial [9.7 %] - Boil 10.0 min
1.00 oz Centennial [9.7 %] - Boil 5.0 min
0.50 oz Nugget [13.3%] - Boil 5.0 min
2.00 oz Willamette [4.9 %] - Boil 1.0 min

1.0 pkg SafAle English Ale (DCL/Fermentis #S-04) Yeast

Mashed @ 152

OG: 1.052
FG: 1.052 (est)
43.4 IBU's (per Beersmith)

Havent mesured FG yet, been sitting in the primary for 18 days as of right now.

I am thinking of dry hopping this, but have to wait for one of my kegs to get finished so I will not even put dry hops in until day 28 or so.

If you were to dry hop this, what would you use?

Thanks,

Joe

I hope the FG is lower than the OG. If I were you, i'd taste the beer and then decide if you should dry hop it.

 

[JoeSpartaNJ]

My bad. Beersmith calculated FG is 1.012.

I love hops, so the answer for me is almost always "Yes!"

There are far more experienced people than me that would be able to suggest a good dry hop for a recipe. I use either what the recipe calls for, or what HBT members suggest. If I'm really stuck I will use whatever I added at the end of the boil but I know there are much better flavor combinations from mixing different varieties.

What do you want out of this?

Centennial for fruity?
Nugget for a dank/herbal aroma?
Chinook for pine?
