Hello,

I like the resinous flavour that Chinook gives, but I've never used the hop myself. Can people recommend whether it's best to use at boil/whirlpool/dry hop (or a combination) when aiming to get most of that resinous flavour into the final beer?

Thanks!

Thanks, so if I understand correctly no resinous flavour is gained by doing a dry hop with Chinook? Seeing as the recipe has no dry hop at all.
