Hey,
Not new to brewing, but new to dry hopping.
I had in the past used tabs to attempt to dry hop some brews, with limited success and in an attempt to make it a little cheaper. But as they failed I've now just properly dry hopped (1oz of cent tabs on Wednsday) my first batch.
I was planning on Dry hopping for 2 weeks, but I have been reading up on it and there seems alot of negative comments about "grassy" flavours that may appear if you hop more than 1 week, some even advise 4 days, others are suggesting months.
What would you recommend?
Little more info:
5 gallon batch, IPA/APA style, 2 weeks in Primary before hop addition, hops are in the primary now, no secondary used. Had a 10 minute additon on boil, nothing on flame out.
