I think I dry hoped wrong

So yesterday I had the day off from work I thought id brew some beer.

Well anyway I had a really good buzz going, and during my drunkenness I added an ounce of galaxy hops to my primary to dry hop before fermentation had even started.

Now did I really mess this up? I looked around online and it dose not look like it will be a huge problem. I should just get less hop aroma from what I understand.

What should i expect from this? Is their anything I can do? Should I just leave it and see how it goes?

You'll get a lot less aroma. but leave it be & see how it comes out before making adjustments.

In theory you could impart some grassy flavors, but that depends on how long your primary is for. Unless you're really letting it sit, it's not going to be a problem. And at only 1 oz., it's not going to be a problem. It'll just be less effective since the CO2 from fermentation will carry away a lot of that lovely hop aroma. But if you sniff your airlock, it'll smell nice!

Let it ride at this point. Sometime drunken mishaps make the best brews.

Nice good to know, I was kicking my self in the ass, but i guess i don't got to worry much.

I can always dry hop again when I transfer to secondary if I want more hop aroma right?

Yeah, you can let it reach FG & settle out clear or slightly misty in primary to dry hop. Many of us do.

Yep. I also wouldn't let the brew sit in primary too long (basically rack it out very soon after fermentation completes). This should decrease the chance of picking up a vegital or grassy quality from the hops.
