Title: Dry hopping with two different hops
Post by: delzep on November 26, 2013, 08:23:20 AM
Would it make much difference I if were to dry hop with hop A for 3 days, and then hop B for 3 days instead of dry hopping with both hops together for 3 days? Same amount for each hop

I would think that it's the same unless A is staying in there for 6 days total.

Yeah, meant to say remove Hop A after 3 days and put in Hop B for 3 days

Total speculation here but am guessing last one out will leave the strongest aroma and flavour, perhaps the way to do it is put the stronger one in first and more subtle one last for the balance.

I asked this question a couple of years back of a pro when I was messing around with DH first and he said and I kid you not, you won't smell delicate perfume fart after a big dirty stinky heavy Guinness fart :o.

If its simcoe and cascade I use, is there a subtle one?  ;D

Simoce is pretty dank and catty, I'd call Cascade the subtle one - relatively.
