[beerdrinkingbob]

Im keen to add a little more hop flavour.. this is my recipe...

Boil:
- Bring 2L of water to boil.
- Dissolved 250g Light Dry Malt Extract.
15gm Amarillo for 15 min
15gm Amarillo at 5 min
15gm Amarillo at flame out
- Hop additions as per above.
- Allowed to cool than added to Fermenter.

Dry Hop:
15gm Amarillo dry hopped at day 6


Is it too dangerous to dry hop another 10 grams this late into CC? Is the likely hood of infection too high?

No such thing as two many late hops, worst case you wait a another month to settle. Done plenty of brews with 125 grams in the last 20 minutes and they were :icon_drool2:

awesome i might throw in another 25 odd grams a day or so prior to bottling.. Just was wondering if i could infect the beer.. Can you become to paranoid?

 

[beerdrinkingbob]

I wouldn't think so because of the alcohol content but i have always added my dry hops late but still fermenting, other members might be able to share their experiences with you.

 

[barls]

it will be fine due to the alcohol and the anti bacterial qualities of hops
