I've done some reading this morning on whole hop utilization and have a question or two or could use some advice.
Due to the hop shortage my LHBS would only give me 3 oz of centennial pellets and the remaining 3 was provided with whole hops.
Below is my recipe with the hop schedule.
1. Should I use the whole hops for the boil and use the pellets for the dry hop? Or the other way around?
2. Any special techniques for the whole hops?
10 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 76.92 %
2 lbs Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 15.38 %
8.0 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 3.85 %
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM) Grain 3.85 %
2.25 oz Centennial (60 min)
1.50 oz Centennial (15 min)
1.00 oz Centennial (5 min)
1.00 oz Centennial (1 min)
1.00 oz Centennial (Dry Hop 7 days) Hops
