    Late Hopping IPA

    Has anyone had experience using only late hop additions to achieve a smoother round bitterness in your IPA or Pale Ales? I am thinking of doing the 777 Rye IPA again, and the only complaint I ever had on it was the sharpness of the bitterness. I remember a pod cast that talked about late...

    Wort loss to hops?

    Since I got all paranoid and bought lots of dry hops at the end of the year, I will now be using them for more than dryhopping, but I have never used them in the boil. How much wort loss do you have to account for with typical hopping? Say a Pale ale has 3 oz's total of leaf hops, how much...
