I brewed the IPA recipe from "Brewing Classic Styles" a few weeks ago, got it kegged and carbonated, and tried a glass the other day. I was... underwhelmed. There's not really very much hoppiness to it - it's more of a Pale Ale. I'm supposed to be serving it at a party we're having in a couple of weeks. I see that my LHBS (BMW) has whole leaf Citra hops in stock, so I started to think about dry-hopping it.
- Is it OK to dry-hop already-carbonated beer (I know I'll need to relieve the pressure on the keg before I open it)
- Is Citra OK to dry-hop with?
- Is two weeks enough time to add hoppiness to my beer?
- How much should I drop in? (I plan on using the hop-bag / dental floss method)
Thanks in advance for the help / suggestions.
