Hi All,

Cal you tell me when you are crafting a recipe how do you decide how much hops you will add for your 30 minute/flavor addition? Is there a general rule to follow here? I know it's dependent upon the style being brewed and the particular hop variety, but in general terms how would one decide.

Thanks,
p
 
Most flavor adds are made between 20-15 minutes. I just look at recipes for the style. A low hop flavor style would run 0-3/4 oz, moderate 1/2 to 1.5 oz, and high, 2 to whatever fits in the kettle.
