Is there a difference when dry hopping when you plan to bottle vs. when you keg? From what I can read up on, it appears that you can dry hop, but the nose will fade after a little bit of time. I really love a nice, complex, hoppy nose. So my question here is if you want to retain a great hop aroma for as long as possible (without resorting to over dry-hopping and "playing the fade") does bottling or kegging win out?
As a follow up question, if you're relegated to bottling, what's the best way to retain or extend your hop aroma over the long haul?
And for a third (ok - getting greedy here) question, will your hop aroma from bottle #1 be significantly different than your last bottle over the course of say a few weeks?
Thanks in advance!
