I wanted to do an experiment comparing whole hops vs pellet hops for dry hopping. I made a 1 gallon batch with 2 cups extra light LME, using a little bit of every hop I had with the following hop schedule:
60 minutes: 7g mix of Apollo, Bravo, Columbus, Magnum, and Galena
20, 15, 10, 5: 7g mix of Citra, Simcoe, Amarillo, Centennial, Falconers Flight, Chinook, Nugget, and Sorachi Ace
I ended up with 3 liters at 1.066 OG, IBUs calculate to 179. By filling my 5 gallon kettle with ice water and sticking my 1 gallon kettle inside of it, I was able to cool the wort exceptionally fast. I pitched ~48 billion cells from a Wyeast 1272 American Ale II yeast slurry and am doing primary fermentation in the kettle.
Once gravity is down to 1.016, I'll split it into two 1.5 L glass bottles, dry hopping one with 7g whole leaf Simcoe and Amarillo, and the other with 7g Simcoe and Amarillo pellets.
