I plan on making a double IPA soon. I am going to try out hop bursting. My question is how much is too much?
No 60 minute addition. the hops in the boil will go something like this:
1 oz. hops every minute for the last 10 minutes of the boil. (10 oz. total)
or
1 oz. of hops every minute for the last 15 minutes of the boil. (15 oz. total)
or
1 oz. of hops every minute for the last 12 minutes of the boil (12 oz. total)
Most likely no dry hopping. Won't need it right?
I havent decided on an amount yet but I won't go over a pound of hops. Probably use between 10-14 oz. of hops.
So, what can I expect with this amount of hops as late additions?
*EDIT* Also, I know there will be a TON of hop sludge in the brew kettle. I was thinking about soaking some cheese cloth in starsan solution and then just pouring the wort through the cheese cloth into the primary fermenter.
I would also like to add that I can currently only do 3 gallon boils and then top off in the fermenter to 5 gallons. Will this affect me any how using this amount of hops?
