In our local pub they have a dry hopped cider at the moment and it is beautiful.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience in brewing a dry hopped cider as I fancy brewing one in the near future.
 
I did two small turbo's last year,one raspberry the other mixed fruit and added a hop tea to the former.Was ok,cider was pretty dry though as i used sparkling wine yeast!
 
I did a 20 litre batch of TC in April and dry hopped for 5 days with 50g citra T90. I was amazed at the result, i was looking for a subtle citrus flavour but it turned out very loud indeed. Its great on a hot day like today though.

I will do it again but next time use 25g for 3 days and see how that turns out.
Note that i double bag the hops to avoid having to fine or filter after the dry hop.
