The point being, just relax and have fun with it. Don't overthink it.


I'm not fretting over it. But i'd like to stay in the pale ale style. Trying to get friends turned onto hoppy beer, and want to gradually bring them in with a good pale ale.

I'm not doing my typical freakout like i've done in past brews. Just curious how much of a difference the dry hopping would make.

ETA: I also ordered some leaf hops of cascade, so i may use that for dry hopping.

Oh, and another thing.

My bud light hops experiment. How many ounces of hops, would you say, to add to the bud lights to get some distinct hops flavor? I know BL is pretty clean, and it won't take much. Maybe .25 ounces?

For those that don't know. I ordered some extra hops to dry hop in bud light. I'm basically going to decap, add hops, recap, and let it sit for a couple weeks. I want to be able to discern individual hop tastes.

The dry hopping will only affect the aroma. It won't add any flavor. Of course, flavor and aroma are intertwined.
