i just got through brewing my latest red ale. in the late nineties, it was the best, most consistent recipe i produced. today's batch only had 1 ounce of Mt. Hood hops to be divided at the beginning of a 30 min. boil and then the remainder at the last two min. to me, this seemed like a low amt. of hops.
my research on red ales found recipes with quite a wide range... anything from 1 oz. to 4.5 oz.s of hops were common.
my question: why the disparate hop amounts in a red? anyone have any insight? thanks!
