dry hopping

[lee1]

hi all just added cascade hops to a coopers apa brewed to 21l, 20g boiled for 15mins 20g steeped for 30 mins now adding 20g dry hopping[ have found this recipe on the site] does dry hopping add flavor ? if so would it be better to add more than 20g thanks

Dry hopping adds flavour and aroma.

You're better off adding your dry hops once primary is nearly done, otherwise the CO2 will carry away a lot of the hop aroma up and out of your brew.

You could equally use a hindu bag, sikh bag, jewish bag. A muslin normally does the job though.

I had a wee taste from the keg after 7 days and it was nice and drinkable, but I've now stashed my keg and bottles in the shed and aim to leave the keg alone for 4 weeks before drinking and the bottles even longer.

Edit - What's the Golden Stag like??
