Ok. So, I made a mistake with my hop addition and need some advice, thoughts, projections about how my beer might turn out from folks that may have made a similar mistake.
My initial recipe is for a Vienna Lager that I want to have ready for early Spring.
5 gal recipe:
4.0 lbs of Munich
3.0 lbs of Vienna
3.0 lbs of Maris Otter
0.2 lbs of Chocolate
0.5 oz of Nugget at (60)
0.75 oz of Hallertauer Mittelfruh (5)
W-34/70
So, things are going well and at the 15 min mark I go to add my whirlfloc and wort chiller, etc. and I accidentally added my Hallertauer as well. As soon as I dumped the hops I knew. Stupid and careless on my part. They were in slow motion going into the hop basket!!!! So, instead of completing the 15 minutes I just stopped the boil after 10 minutes. Wanted to make sure I was sanitized well. Essentially, I boiled for 55 minutes with Nugget and for 10 minutes with Hallertauer.
Thoughts on how the brew might turn out? Will it completely lose what aroma and flavor those late hop additions might have had or will the 5 minute extension make much difference?
This brew will ferment for 1 week give or take a day then the plan was to cold crash for about a month and bottle for another month for conditioning.
I know it'll still drink and be "ok", but just wanted to get some opinions.
Should I dry hop with Hallertauer about a week before bottling or will the longer conditioning time counteract that?
Thanks,
Scott
