Dry hopped wrong, is it salvageable?

[cdoebler]

Hi everyone,

I tried dry hopping for my first time and clearly made a first timer mistake, I put the dry hops in when I pitched the yeast, yesterday afternoon. What should I do??? Thanks!

Dry hop it again after fermentation is done.

So this won't stop it from fermenting?

No it won't, but all the aroma from the hops you just put in will be blown away by fermentation

 

[cdoebler]

Phew, ok good. Thanks!

No. Hops go in beer- you already put some in the wort during the boil. But because fermentation will "blow off" much of the aromatics, and the yeast will flocculate and drop out some of the hops oils with it, you can re-dryhop about 5-7 days before bottling the beer.

Would you rehop with the same originally planned or a little less? I had 1.5 oz in it.

Yes, I'd go with the same amount. You may have to buy some.

You're good, !.5 oz is a pretty mellow dryhop if you want a pop!
