Hello,

For my next beer I want to brew a powerful IIPA. By powerful I mean hops, HOPS, HOPS! (sorry, I LOVE hops). The problem is that I can only do partial boils at the moment and we all know good and well that with partial boils you get less hop utilization. Should I...

Do the late malt addition method
Use more hops then normal
both, or another suggestion.

Keep in mind that it's very hard to come up with a beer that is too hoppy for my tastes.

Thanks!

Appear: 3.5/5.
Mouthfeel: 3.5/5
Carb/Head: 3/5
Taste: 2.5/5
Overall: 3/5

An overall decent beer but it has too much of a banana character, I think it's because of fermenting at too high of a temp. Tasted better as it aged, but far from perfect.

You could always make up a batch of Hop tea to dump into it as well. I'm not much of a hop head though so I'll let someone else explain how to do that.

If you boil hops in water, you get very good utilization. Boil your bittering and half of your flavor hops in two gallons on water the day before you brew. Chill it. Do your partial with the remaining flavor and aroma hops. Add the cold hop tea.

Make an appointment with your dentist to have the enamel on your teeth replaced!
