hops

Hi all... I'm an extract brewer. I've recently upgraded from a 5 gallon kettle, brewing 3 gallons water and topping off, to a new 8.5 gallon kettle in which I plan to start with 5.7 gallons for a 5 gallon batch. I'm making a single hop Azacca American IPA recipe in Beersmith. When I changed...

Hi guys, I just brewed my first NEIPA and I put a lot of hops in it (12 oz in 5.5 gallon batch). I noticed a "green" hop flavor, like if you just tasted raw hop pellets. I dry hopped once during early fermentation and once more in the keg. The beer is quiet young (about 2 weeks) so I'm thinking...

Don't know where this should go but seems it could change the way we hop our beers. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/hoppy-beer-without-hops-scientists-created-it-180968553/

Idk if this recipe would work for an IPA... mash: 8.3 lbs Pale ale 1 lb CaraMunich 2 1 lb Carapils Hops: 1 oz columbus (60 mins) 1 oz Mosaic (20 mins) 1 oz mosaic (10 mins) 2 oz citra (flame out, for 10 mins) Dry hopping: 1 oz mosaic and 1 oz citra (7 days before bottling day) thanks :)

Hi! This is my first post here. I'm getting married in May and are planning to brew an IPA for the guests and I want all kind of input on the recipe I have designed. I'm shooting for a IPA around 5.5-6.5% ABV, not too high in IBU (I think that more guests will appreciate that). Here is my...

I just brewed my first 2.5 gallon batch to put into my FastFerment 3 gallon conical. I'm kind of disappointed, because I brewed a Session IPA and used a hop "basket" (https://www.homebrewing.org/400-Micron-Stainless-Hop-Filter--4-x-10-_p_7114.html), and still ended up with a bunch of trub in my...

Here's the very brief info on my process Made 11 gals NEIPA using RO, 6 gr CaCl, 3 gr Gypsum. PH after mash 5.3ish Keg conditioned, split in two 5.5 gal cornies, with the right amount of table sugar and placed a mesh tube with 4 oz of hops into each keg, then CO2 transferred it from carboy...

Hi everyone, I just ordered 4 pounds of hops (Amarillo, Mosaic, Citra, Kohatu) and I am thinking about making a very hop forward style such as a NEIPA. So this is my recipe so far: Batch size - 5.5 gallons Malt: Marris Otter - 6.5 lbs Vienna - 2 lbs Wheat - 2 lbs Flaked Barley - 10 oz Munich...

sorry I moved this thread to general brewing discussion (:

Hello everyone! I'm new here and I've just started brewing my 4th batch of beer - a NZ pilsner this time (Mangrove Jacks). I'm going to dry hop it with some Cascade hops together with the hops that are included in the kit (Nelson Salvin, Pacific Jade and Motueka). What are your experiences...

Hey everyone. I've got a fair amount of hops that I'm not super familiar with using together, and that I want to utilize in our house Pale and some new IPA's. Malt bass is real simple: Pale, some Munich and touch of C-45. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on pairing these varieties...

I currently have a NEIPA in my fermenter, bubbling happily. I added the first dry hop today, 48 hours after pitching yeast. I know double dry hopping is pretty standard procedure with these kinds of beers, and I was planning on doing the second dry hop once the beer has been transferred into the...

Home and Micro Brewers of China: I am an avid home brewer and member of a graduate student team doing a research project on hop exports specifically to the Chinese home/micro brew market. We are looking for opportunities to help this segment of brewers across China. Would you be so kind as to...

I just ordered a bunch of new hops from Yakima Valley Hops. I'm going to list all of the hops I have now (including the new order), and I would appreciate some suggestions as to some beer styles I could make with them. Up until now, I have mainly used Chinook, Centennial, Cascade, Saaz...

Up until now, I have used some pretty typical hop varieties in my beers. For my American ales: Cascade, Chinook, Centennial, and Citra. For my English beers: Fuggles and East Kent Golding. For my German/Belgian beers: Hallertau, Tettnanger, and Saaz. I am interested in trying out some...

Hello everyone, I am using Magnum hops as a first addition in my American Amber Ale recipe. My distributor is not going to bring Magnum hops anymore so here are some of the options they have: Bravo Centenial Cascade Sterling Chinook Perle Mandarina Bavaria Hallertau Mittelfruh Do you guys...

If you boil hops long, say 50-60 minutes for the bittering, and you are making a German style lager like Munich Dunkel, would you necessarily have to use lower alpha Hallertau Hops for the bittering or could you use higher alpha acid hops like Cascade? I know Cascade provide a different profile...

Guys and Gals, My name is Cory, I am a TTB certified chemist in Michigan and wanted to jump in here to let people know that I'm available as a resource for all your testing needs, if so required. I can test anything from ABV on beer, wine, or distilled spirits, to Hops (alpha, beta...

TL;DR: My hops seems to spend more time stuck to the side of the pot than in the actual boil. Is that A Thing? It's common to see recipes with something like: Start the boil, add 1/2 your bittering hops. After 20 min, add the rest of the bittering hops. After 40 min, add your finishing hops...

On a Youtube.com channel I was watching about myths, and one of them was doing a 60 minute boil. I like the idea of a shorter time boil, after collecting the wort from the mash tun and lautering. However, there is also the issue of getting hops into solution in your wort for bittering, and...
