AG#8 My first dry hop
Re: AG#8 My first dry hop
Nice looking recipe.
I've dry-hopped my last 5 batches of beer and people do comment on how perfumey it is (course they are all french people and not used to decent beer !)
Many on here and other fora recommend up to 4 - 6 grams of hops per Litre of beer. I've only ever gone up to 2 grams per Litre with noticable effects that I was very happy with.
I think for your first go you have the right quantity - it's a good starting point and you can always add more next time.
