Wheeler isn't exact about this and suggests 8-10 g one chapter and a "couple of cones" in another! He also suggests that dry hopping can lead to off tastes when the beer ages-is this true?
Cheers!

Hi all, I am interested in dry hopping some of Wheeler's recipes. Today I have just brewed 5 gals of Adnams Southwold Bitter- 3400 pale, 75 chocolate, 470 flaked maize, 32 challenger, 37 fuggles and 15g goldings late hops. Does anyone dry hop, and if so what quantity would you suggest for this recipe?

My last dry hop was done two ways on a 10 gallon batch of Bell's Two Hearted:
Hops added to 2nd- racked beer into the 2nd on top of an ounce of Centennial for two weeks, then into the keg. Result: very nice hop aroma which let the drinker know that it's a hoppy beer.
Hops in Keg: racked beer into keg on top of 1 oz. after 3 weeks in primary Result- somewhat more grassy nose, same statement to the drinker
These beers didn't last long, maybe 4 weeks each. Absolutely no off flavor from the hopped keg, there was actually a nice mellowing and I preferred that keg better than the other.
