So I recently brewed a partial mash Nut Brown...Northern Brewer's Nut Brown extract kit with steeping grains. I added to the steeping grains a bit and did more of a "partial mash" than a "grain steep". Anyway, due to a murphy's law type brew day, I wound up adding way more fuggles (nearly double) than I should've at the 60 minute mark (the only hop addition so far)...resulting in what seems to be a really bitter brown. Now, I love English Bitter Ales, and my wife loves really hoppy beers, so I think all's not lost...the flavors are good, just too much fuggles. I'm wondering about balancing the bitterness with a dry hop addition.
Fermentation is complete, and I could rack to a keg, or do a secondary with dry hop addition...or just dry hop in the primary? I have some goldings on hand, which I think would go well with the fuggles...also have cascade, centennial, tettnanger, more fuggles, simcoe, amarillo...maybe an oz of galaxy.
thoughts?
