Okay, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a decent hop harvest this year, so I've put together a recipe that will go beyond anything I've ever done before--100% WET HOPS.
I'm doing a blend of hops to put into the beer, but my second year Northern Brewer is doing quite well, so I've based the recipe on a steam beer due to the fact that I'll have MUCH more Northern Brewer than anything else. The blend will consist of approximately 75% NB, 12.5% Santiam, 10% Mt. Hood, and 2.5% Cascade.
Essentially what I am going to do is pick the hops the morning of the brew session and immediately use them in the beer. I've heard and read that you have to use approximately 6 times as much hops as you would dry. Therefore, I'm hoping I can get enough for this recipe. I can adjust the recipe to reflect how much of a harvest I'll actually pull.
It is a basic steam beer grain bill.
