Yeah, we dry hopped in a carboy. A bucket would be 100x better. Here's the revised recipe. I really love my original so instead of trying to improve it I decided I want to just make another IPA to go along in a series I hope to create. WLP029 German Ale/Kolsch 10lb. Briess 2-Row Brewers...

I like the idea about changing the yeast. I was using WLP001. I might give the 029 a try. Also, we used a hop sack to dry hop and it was a pain in the ass to get the thing out after 4oz of hops absorbed all that water after sitting in there for two weeks. Am I gaining that much more aroma...

Right on, so adding another 2oz. of hops, 1oz. at 10min and 1oz. at 5min. would give me a good balance? Thanks for the response.

I brewed an IPA a month ago and cracked one open yesterday and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in the hop flavor it has. I used the following hops at the following times. 1.25oz. Citra @ 60min. .75oz. Simcoe @ 45min. 1.00oz. Sorachi Ace @ 15min. 1.00oz. Simcoe @ 1min. 4.00oz. Simcoe...
