Hello!
I've had a Simcoe IPA in primary now for 36 hours and I just took a gravity reading; 1.068 to 1.014 in 36 hours: 2.2%attenuation per hour!
Hydrometer sample tasted good; good bitterness but not a lot of hop aroma.
It is made from leftover grains: 58% pale, 25% munich, 10% vienna, 7% crystal 80L.
21 liters (5.5 gallons) in the bucket on top of a US-05 yeast cake from my SNPA-like pale ale.
It took off like a rocket!
It is hopped to 68IBU with 100grams (~3.5oz) of Simcoe.
30g FWH (90 minutes)
20g 30 min
20g 10min
30g 0min (steeped for 20 minutes while cooling)
Now I have another 100 grams of Simcoe (whole hops), and I want to use some or all of that for dry hopping.
Any suggestions on when to introduce them, how huch and for how long? I've never done this before..
