So I just kegged among other beers an IPA, IIPA, and a Rye IIPA a week ago that I want to enter into the NHC. I was just going over the entry / judging dates and it is around the end of March or so which will put these beers just over 2 months in the kegs. I know they will still be somewhat hoppy but not like they are now or even 1 month from now which is ideal.
I have been researching possibly adding some hops in the keg maybe a week or so before I bottle, but I don't want to warm up the beer to dry hop and I know it will take longer to extract the oils at serving temps.
Any advice? I know 2 months out isn't terribly long, just wanted to see if anyone has been in the same situation....
