Dry hop before or after CCing, brad?

I like to dry hop at ferment temp for a couple of days, then cold crash.

Cheers

knocked out a nod to my home surf break Nanarup with a beer aptly named Beach Break

I wanted to smell reef oil suntan lotion (coconut) and Mr Zogs sex wax (vanilla scented surfboard wax), smells that would take me back there....so that brew is fermenting away nicely - who knows what it'll taste like

and

also did a base stout to build up a yeast cake for a Blackcurrant and Choc Port specialty RIS that needs to be brewed

bit of a mixed bag of grain went into that one, going to try S-33 this time

Thanks.
I was wondering in relation to the difference between the 2 yeasts - namely the impact on hops.
My thinking was the 1469 may likely reduce the hops flavour/aroma and might do that by binding to the relevant oils then dropping out, taking the oils with it. If that process is roughly correct, I was therefore wondering if you could get the best results by CCing first, then adding the dry hops. (As I'm pretty sure 1469 will give the best result in terms of the malt bill).
OTOH, the alternative theory of much of the flavour/aroma of hops coming from glycosides is likely more dependent on chemical processing by the active yeasts, in which case you'd obviously want to keep the temp up for the first few days (as you're going to do). I know there's Brewers in the States that swear by benefits of dry hopping "warm" then CCing after a day or three, which suggests this might be what's occurring.

All my speculation, no great factual info to clarify unfortunately [emoji57]

After a six month drought from both homebrewing and this forum due to moving to Victoria and starting my first professional brewing job I'm finally getting a mash going again, feels good! Just a 12L BIAB till I can get a proper set up finished.

[Rocker1986]

3 decimal place gravity. Ok.

I started doing that because my temperature correction calculator spits out figures to like 8 decimal places. It's probably unnecessary but I suppose I have selective OCD.. some stuff I don't care about accuracy that much and other stuff I like it. :lol:

 

[Dan Pratt]

Haha. Good stuff. ^

 

[Kumamoto_Ken]

Cubed a 'Leftovers' APA this morning.

BB Ale and Gladfield American Ale combo - 90%
BB Wheat - 5%
Gladfield Toffee - 4%
Carabohemian - 1%

Magnum at 60 min for bittering
Chinook/Amarillo (1:2) at flameout
Chinook/Citra (1:2) in the cube

Calculated 42IBU
OG: 1.054

Will use BRY-97 and dry hop with whatever Citra I have left.
