I'm on about my 25th or so batch, (mostly extract kits) and I've been intrigued with the idea of dry hopping. But this ain't the way I wanted to get started. Sunday night I brewed up two 5 gallon batches, a Nut Brown Ale and a IPA, both from True Brew kits. The IPA ingredients were as follows:
Unhopped Amber Malt Extract - 2 cans
Crystal Grain - 1 lb.
Pilgrim Hop Pellets - 1 oz.
UK First Gold Hop Pellets - 1 oz.
Heavy Toast Oak Chips - 1/2 oz.
Ale yeast - 1 pack
Unexpectedly, friends came by when I was about half way through with the IPA, and I forgot to add the UK First Gold Hop Pellets for the last few minutes of the boil. The whole batch has been in the carboy since Sunday night and appears to be doing well. I barely missed the OG of 1.050 at 1.048 according to my old eyes on the hydrometer.
I know that the batch is going to need the finishing hops. My question is, when and how do I dry hop under these conditions? Thanks y'all in advance.
Beers,
Ken
