How much hops for dry hopping?

[pumblechook]

I've been doing my first extract brew over the last week or so. I've actually managed to hit the proper FG, which I think might be an achievement in its own right for an extract brew.

Drank the contents of the trial jar and it tastes great, will be even better after its conditioned.

Although I'm getting the bitterness from the hops, there isn't a huge hop aroma and I'd like to increase it, but I really don't want to go mad and I don't want the aroma to be over powering.

I've got some whole dried EKG hops I could use for dry hopping. What weight would you recommend in a 19l brew to just lift it a bit?

Do you put them in a hop bag and weigh it down with something?

Cheers!

I would add about 30g of EKG if I did not want the aroma too heavy.

Just boil your hop bag for 10 or 15mins to sanitise it along with whatever you are using to weigh it down.

Brilliant, thanks for your help jimp2003. I'll give that a try.
