I am making two batches (5 gal) of Bock beer, a batch of Brown Ale,
and a batch of Australian Dark ale, These are all pre-hopped LME
and DME batches. I would like to dry hop each of them.
Suggestions will be appreciated!
Dick

Dick, there's shouldn't be any difference dry hopping a beer whether
it's made from pre hopped extract or not. What kind of
suggestions/advice were you looking for?

Denny, after rereading my post, it immediately was obvious that
the post lack clarity.
I was looking for suggestions on specific hops for dry hopping
each beer.

Okey dokey! For the bock, don't go there...not to style and I can't
imagine it being a good thing to do, anyway! For the brown, I'd suggest
Goldings for an English brown and Centennial for an American brown. No
idea on the Australian dark....

Dick, re the aussie dark ale - it you want to be true to style then go
light on the hops. Aussie beers are generally fairly thin and lightly
hopped - bitterness and aroma/flavour wise.
Aussie dark ales, if you had to group them, are generally mildly, fruity
(something I think the yeast contribute more to than hops)and chocolaty
If you really want to dry hop, maybe a light smattering of some english
style hops (fuggles/goldings?).
Or use Australian pride of ringwood.

for a typical aussie dark
cheers

The same goes for the bock -- these beers are very lightly hopped, and
the darker varieties show little hop flavor or aroma. Dry hopping a bock
might yield a good beer -- but it won't be anything like a bock.
