Just out of interest, what sort of hop amounts go into your good recipes?
It's not that I'm stingy with the hops, but since they are expensive where I live I just try to be mindful of what I'm using and try to choose the right varieties and use them in the right way. But I'm feeling I might be a couple of ounces light on the dry-hop here for my pale ales and IPAs.
So I'm just looking at some of my 5G recipes:
- Blonde ale or lager, 2oz
- Easy drinking APA, 2.5oz inc 0.5oz dry
- Dry-hopped pilsner, 5oz inc 1.5oz dry
- OK but not great IPA, 5oz inc 1.5oz dry
- Nice hop bursted APA, 6-8oz inc 2oz dry
- Pliny the Elder clone, 16oz inc 5.5oz dry
So yeah, interested to hear what the hopheads here are using in their recipes and roughly how they are used. More looking for general discussion rather than recipe printouts.
