Dry hopping a wheat beer??

[shearclass]

Hi

In my latest kit - Brupaks West Riding Wheat - there was some hop pellets which can be used either for dry hopping, or for boiling up with some of the wort before fermentation. I think Brupaks include them in all their packs.

I did not boil them, so I have them to sue for dry hopping. However, I was wondering if dry hopping a wheat beer was ideal? I'm no expert, and not a particularly experienced wheat beer drinker, but i don't remember wheat beers being particularly hoppy.

Is it appropriate to dry hop a wheat beer? Any opinions from more experienced drinkers?

Cheers

Not appropriate, not even in an American wheat beer. Aromas should be from spices and/or yeast.

That said, it's your beer and you can do it if you like.

Well as 100% of replies were negative, I'll give it a miss.

i'll prob google around the subject a bit before confirming this, but I'll prob keep the hops for the next kit I do.
