English Bitter Dry Hopped

[LordCroker]

I'll be starting my 4th brew in the next few weeks.
I'm looking at doing an English Bitter.
Any suggestions on dry hopping and the amount to use.
Cheers

Hi LordC

I don't reckon you can go far wrong dry-hopping with EKG (East Kent Goldings) in a Bitter ... I'd say 15-30g should give you an idea of what you'd prefer from there :small

Cheers, PhilB

One of my favourites is First Gold. If you like TT Landlord I believe they use Styrian Goldings late on.

Just be careful with large amounts of english hops for dry hopping as you can get a medicinal taste from some but it does mellow after the initial greeness

+1 for East Kent Goldings on your first attempt. Classic British hop, often used for dry hopping.
