Funny. I recently concluded to start doing the same thing. I've been planning my next ten or 12 brew sessions for when the weather gets a bit warmer. New recipes are getting formulated and old reliable ones are getting modified to maximize hop bursting and late additions as well as hop stand/whirlpool, while leaving out dry hop additions. I figured I'd give it one season without DH to see if it adds or detracts significantly enough to justify the added time and effort. Lots of lagers and traditional ales "on deck" (clear, no NEIPAs) so anything to decrease haze but not adversely affect stability, flavor and self life, is on the table.
I figure it can't be much different (finished product) than what I used to brew before I started dry hopping in earnest 6 or 7 years ago. I've tried all manner and method of getting hops into the beer (FWH, full boil, partial boil, late addition, steep/WP, and dry, as well as hop teas, hop oils, hop hash and cryo hops). Each have their own pluses and minuses. Hop teas and DH are the hardest to incorporate into cold side LoDO brewing. What's been your experience since 'dry hopping out', and do you have any words of wisdom?
