Hopping to it

Exciting times. I have finally decided to get a bit more experimental with one of my brews (only marginally) by adding some hops to the brew. The internet tells me that day three is about the right time to drop some hop pellets in there. But how much? Again the internet tells me that about an ounce is the right amount. So I measured out about 28 grams (which is apparently an ounce in modern measuring) of Chinook hops. Tip them in the top of the barrel and the float to the bottom. Hopefully that means I am going to get some hoppy action to balance out the maltyness of the home brew. Apparently it won't make the taste more bitter. You have to do that at mash making time (well more advanced than I am), but at least this will add a bit to the aroma.
