I have a pound each of Simcoe and Centennial Wet Hops that should be in this week.
Some of the threads I have reviewed encourage the use of dried hops for the bittering addition and from what I can tell the intended reason for this is to not waste the wet hops on bittering when you do not get any of the wet hop aroma/flavor benefits. Is there another reason I shouldn't be using these here? The way I see it is my 2lbs is not really enough to stretch into two batches and my current pipeline cannot support another batch at this time.
What extra waste have you seen in your kettle from all the hops? I need to know by how much to increase my trub loss.
IBUs have been adjusted to read 1/5 of the dry value based Beersmith's default AA%.
I look forward to your feedback. I am super excited about this recipe!
