Hello fellow beer enthusiasts and brewers: I have made a terrible mistake. I began hopping my rye pale ale with the hop schedule I allotted to an IPA I was planning on brewing.... and realized it 55 minutes into the boil.
I believe this is a salvageable situation. I am curious however how the lot of you would react given my current situation....
I threw in 1oz of 16.3 AA Columbus for an hour - and .5oz of Amarillo & Centennial for 15 min and 1oz of Amarillo for 5 min. In hindsight; I should have done more flameout additions of centennial or Amarillo to make the hop flavor similar to what my IPA was supposed to be. I failed to capitalize on this opportunity.
So my options are thus:
Dry hop the **** out of it with the Am / Cen I would have used for my IPA
Dry hop the **** out of it with the Sterling I was planning on using (weird? I kind of think so.)
Make a hop tea/priming solution at bottling with either of these two hop options
Please provide some thoughts - I would be very appreciative.
