Recipe put together based on leftovers! After a leaking MT tap and a stuck mash I'm finally in the middle of the boil at the mo, but I'm wondering what hop to use for dry hopping?
Recipe:
pale 4000
crystal 200
roast barley 420
chocolate 150
oats 205
30g challenger at 90 min
15g challenger at 10min
then dry hopping
I have northdown, challenger, magnum, willamette, styrian, wgv, and boadicea to choose from. Was thinking Styrian, is there anyone out there with the experience to recommend one of these?
thanks
some sort of a stout, dry hops?

Re: some sort of a stout, dry hops?
I don't dry hop my stouts so I am going to vote for holding onto the hops. Just my opinion.

I'm just here for the beer.
Re: some sort of a stout, dry hops?
I wouldn't dry hop a stout. I don't even add much in the way of late hops. It doesn't mix well with the roastiness IMO.

I've never dry hopped a stout, but what's the worst that could happen? Styrians could add something uplifting, the recipe isn't a million miles from my stout, I might even be converted!

Re: some sort of a stout, dry hops?
Have never dry hopped a stout but tasted one that was dry hopped with cascade. it was not good!
If i ever put in late additions then i would only use something like fuggles which goes ok.
