Very little hops need help

[gmaupin]

I started my brew on the 6th its now sitting in the secondary I took a reading this morning and had a taste. My one major concern is its lack of hops as I posted on my introduction the water never boiled is it to late to dry hop or add some hops to the secondary ?

Can we get a recipe? What are you brewing?

sorry brewers best American Light kit

3.3 lbs pilsen lme
1.0 lbs pilsen dme
8oz corn sugar
8oz rice syrup solids

.5 oz bittering hops (for got to save what kind came with)
.5 oz aroma

Short answer is that yes, you can dry hop in the secondary. Put some hops in a hop bag and throw them in - leave from 4 to 14 days.

thanks the beer tasted good but the hops was almost zero nada zip

Well, an American Light kit would be expected to have very little hop character to it.

 

[gmaupin]

so if i dry hop how much should I go with ?

+1 to this.. The American Light is beer style with not much going on... I wouldn't expect much hops flavor/aroma.

I'd go with a 1/2 oz for dry hopping. Give it a week and check it.
