Just thinkin

[MULE]

I brewed my stout this past Friday and all seems well. While gazing at the carboy just a few minutes ago I began to wonder..... dry hop....or not.

It's a five gallon batch of chocolate stout. I have 3oz of Amarillo in the freezer and I was thinking about dropping an oz in the carboy in a few weeks.

Amarillo hops have a great aroma so I thought it would be cool.

Cool or not cool?


Yes.... I am drinkin

Any takers?

Stouts generally don't have late hop additions. There are exceptions of course, but normally you would just add bittering hops at 60 minutes. Dry hopping is outside the style.

Ick. Dry hops in a chocolate stout are not only out of style, but will not complement the chocolate/roast flavors you've likely worked so hard to create. I wouldn't do it.

You do something (make beer) and then you sit around for sooo long that crazy ideas pop into your head and start to germinate.

Don't do it. It's just a crazy thought. You'll feel better once it goes away. You'll thank us when you crack open the first one...

I agree, you will want a low hop aroma for the chocolate stout. Chocolate being the desirable flavoring, not some much the hops.
