First Dry Hop

[mn_brewer_stpaul]

Hello,

This is my first time brewing an I.P.A. I purchased a kit from midwest (Hop Scare I.P.A) I was wondering if anyone has dry hopped with this kit? If so what, how much, how long and what hop did you use?

Thank you.

Did you use all 2 oz of the cascade in the boil (flame out?)?

I made an IPA kit a few weeks back and dry hopped with cascade and chinook. If you have cascade left, use that.

I used all that came with the kit during the boil.

do you have any hops on hand? if so, list those and we can make a suggestion.

if you need to buy them, you have a lot of choices. since you already have amarillo and cascade in the boil, you could go with more of that - say an ounce of each for 5 to 7 days. if you can't find any amarillo, centennial is another you should consider (alone or with cascade). citra also has great aroma.

Thank you sweet cell. Think I may pick up some citra. Thanks for the advise!

Oh man I wish I had some citra. Good luck.

Citra, cascade, centennial, or amarillo would be your best choices.
Cheers!

Thank you sweet cell. Think I may pick up some citra. Thanks for the advise!

you're most welcome. be warned that citra and amarillo are a little hard to come by these days, so your local shop may or may not have some on hand. centennial and cascade should be available. also, ask the shop staff - they're usually very knowledgeable.

or, if you're going to order online, asking folks on this board is probably as good as it's going to get
