So tonight I tested and sampled the below extract recipe. It’s been 2 weeks in primary and I’ve just added another 3 oz of secondary hop pellets. It tasted fine, nothing off, but not something I would say is remarkable. Would the below secondary hops (considering the amount) change the flavor a lot?

The beer itself will probably taste better a week or two from now. And three oz of dry hops should add a lot of aroma. ---

Dry hops will make for a marked increase in aroma, and some flavor contribution as well. It will be well worth the wait. And carbonation, plus the proper pour in the proper glass will make a huge impact as well - possibly more so for a dry-hopped IPA than any other style. You patience will be greatly rewarded, as difficult as that may be right now. ---

I’ve got some of those too, Frank. I really like them. I guess the theme is the narrow mouth glass that intensifies aromas. Definitely makes a difference. ---

I really like them. I guess the theme is the narrow mouth glass that intensifies aromas. Definitely makes a difference. I think the combination of the narrow opening and the extra “head” space work together to intensify the aroma. I pour pretty hard into them and pretty much fill the glass completely with a large hoppy head. Pretty much the same deal with a large tulip glass.
