How late is too late?

I'm brewing my second batch ever... The cooper's lager the DIY kit comes with.

Not a huge lager fan so i decided to add 1KG of honey to the brew to spice it up a bit.

2 weeks in the FV at about 16 degrees... Primary fermentation is pretty much done. FG has held at 1010 for a few days now... Tasted it. It's okay... Nothing great. So I thought I'd try to knock it up a notch.

Is it too late to dry hop with 1oz of saaz in a sterilized nylon bag?
 
i would say no.

go ahead and dry hop it. i usually dry hop in a secondary fermentor with the beer off the yeast
 
You're fine to dry hop now, as the others said. You can also simply dry hop in the primary if you want. I have done this with good results. Others might argue it, but it's been fine for me.
 
Thanks guys, ill be dropping by my LHBS to pick up a second set of PET bottles anyway, so i think i'll grab some hops while I'm at it!

I'll be hoping straight in the primary... Don't own a secondary... I'm sure it'll be fine
