So there is a slight chance my iPa was skunked, I have not dry hopped it yet.
My question is if my batch was skunked will dry hopping mask the skunkyness? If not is there anything that can be done?

Thanks
 
I uncover it at night to help keep the temp down and a couple times I didn't get it covered before the sun came up. It not direct Sun light but the fact that it contains 5oz of hops I fell like it wouldnt take much.
I will taste it today before I dry hop, I hope it's fine. When I tasted it before all this it tasted pretty amazing! I used all Falconers Flight 7 c's.

You are fine dry hop it bottle it up and enjoy your brew. :mug: F7 nice!!
 
That would depend on how clear the FV is,& how long it was exposed to sunlight or florecent light. It's the UV end of the spectrum breaking down the hop lupulin oils molecules that make that skunk spray smell/flavor.
