I have a batch of Extra Pale Ale sitting in primary right now. It will be two weeks old on Saturday and the gravity has been steady at 1.012 for 3 days (I'll do one last test on Saturday). I have another kit ready to go so I want to rack it to secondary on Saturday to free up my 6.5 gal. carboy.
So here's my question, I have been growing hops and I have harvested about 8 oz. of Centennials and dried them. From what I've read Centennials are great aroma hops so I thought I'd dry hop my brew with them. Here's the recipe;
Specialty Grains
* 1 lbs. Dingemans Caramel Pils
Fermentables
* 6 lbs. Gold Malt Syrup
Boil Additions
* 2 oz. Cascade (60 min)
* 1 oz. Cascade (1 min)
* Safale US-05. Optimum temperature: 59-75° F.
Would you think dry hopping with the Centennials was a good idea? How much would you add?
