Hi I'm finishing up a saison and after tasting the gravity sample I think it could use some very light dry hopping. Here's the recipe so far.

I started on June 1st with an O.G. that ended up at 1.045 and it's now still fermenting slowly at 1.009. The taste and aroma is a little to acidic slightly overpowering the fruit and spice and the body and color are just right.

Any suggestions on dry hopping types and amounts for a hint of hops in the nose and taste?
 
Well I decided to go with 1/3 ounce hallertau tradition for the dry hop. I'll post to tell how it goes.
