Hi guys. I just kegged an ipa and there’s not too much hop flavour.
The recipe had me add some hops during the boil and also during the fermenting phase but despite that, it’s not as hoppy as hoped.
So now I’m wondering if I should throw in a little bag of hops into the keg as it’s carbonating for the next week. Is this a bad idea?

Absolutely you can! I throw them in a hop bag and tie some unwaxed, unflavored dental floss around the top and out the lid to suspend it a bit off the bottom. Works great!
 
Maybe post a link to your recipe. While you can add some hop character to your beer once in the keg, and maybe enjoy this beer more. You may want to adjust your overall hop schedule for future brews.
