Brewing an extract batch of beer is simple but it is mundane all by itself. Which is why I prefer to add fruits to it in secondary or dry hop it. I had some hops in the freezer and a quick check confirmed two of my favourite hops: Citra and Cascade.
I dumped the entire pack of Citra which wasn't much and about 5 to 6 grams of Cascade into the fermentation bucket.
And I checked it today morning and there was a thick layer of hops floating in the bucket and a strong scent of citrus fruits and pine. Dry hopping just elevates the beer to a different level altogether and will make this a very, very enjoyable beer.
Time to stock up on Citra and add some Simcoe and Amarillo to my hop collection.
