Brewed an Oatmeal Stout. 1.05 OG.

Used Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale. My first smack pack.

Used 2 oz East Kent Goldings Hops.

Had excessive blow off .5 to 1 gallon. :(

Not sure which caused the extra blow off. :confused:

Saw a Northern Brewer BTV episode where they used 4 oz East Kent Goldings hops and they made 6 gallons of wort because they were anticipating extra blow off

Can hop choice or smack pack increase blow off?
