Hello Looking for some input on my thoughts.
I had a few muntons cans laying around, probably 2 years old. one can was amber LME and a Canadian ale (hopped). Both were amber color and 3.3lb cans iirc. It has been in the primary for over a week and I tested gravity and then drank the sample. the batch has no hop aroma or taste, it smells like LME as if it just came out of the can, but not as strong but overpowering. The gravity was still pretty high (about .010 then I would like it to be) and has some sweetness, I re-pitched some Nottingham moved it to a little warmer area, and wating for some aitlock activity. I would like to transfer to secondary and dry hop this but I am unsure on amounts, time or style of hops. I am not really sure what style I am shooting for either, IMHO it's just fermented Amber LME, I would like to give it some character heh. Suggestions?
