How critical is dry hop timing on Fruit Bazooka NE IPA?

[lorne17]

Hello there, I have the fruit bazooka nE IPA from Northern Brewer and I wanted to brew today, but the instructions say to put first dry hop in 2-3 days after brew day when there is still foam: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2...Bazooka-1527604275710.pdf?5468902493453741422

How critical is that? I’m going to be gone until day 5. Will that hurt the beer flavor/profile? Should I hold off and brew this is I actually am here on days 2-3?

Thanks,
Lorne

It will most likely change the look and maybe to some extent the taste. It will still be a very flavorful beer. They are talking about Biotransformational hoping.

The other option is I add first dry hop additions Thursday morning and I brew right now?

Would you brew now or wait till next weekend?

Whelp, nevermind. I went to get everything and ingredients and my liquid yeast was frozen! Bollocks! So I'll wait until next week. NB is sending me another pack. Sure was nice of them!

Sorry, I went off line for a bit and now I realize that doesn't matter. Again either way it still would have been a good beer, just at most a small difference in taste.
