adding a hoppy taste

[artyb]

ive made a few kit beers and ive been quite impressed so far,

i boil a gallon of water and add the sugar to it, ...COULD i at this stage add some hops to the water,, to add to/improve the taste of the kit, ive done mainly bitter,lager and stout kits so far,,

this may be the start of the slippery slope....

if i was you i would dry hop your next kit with something like Cascade. Or even try someting like i did with THE BEER.

 

You could most certainly add hops at your boil stage, it will be like adding "aroma" hops, but will definitely improve the taste of your kit!

To be honest, I'd just dry hop the beer in the keg.

What if he's bottling?

Dry hop it for a week in a secondary.

Morgans finnishing hops in the primary fermentation worked a treat for my kits [urlhttp://www.homebrewmegastore.co.uk/shop/beer-homebrew-kits/morgans-finishing-hops-cascade.html[/url]
