    Hey brewers,

    Let me know your thoughts on this IPA and also any suggestions on the extra hop material going into the primary.

    Boiled 2 oz Centennial for 60 mins then took kettle off heat and added 2oz Cascade and 2oz Citra for 30 mins. The 4oz bag must have ripped and the hops ended up in the kettle so now I have a lot of hop material in the fermenter (I did try straining them but clogged up strainer too much). They were are all pellets.

    Hops
    ---------------------
    60 min boil: 2 oz Centennial
    At flameout for 30 mins: 2 oz Cascade, 2 oz Citra

    Specialty Grain (steeped 30 mins prior)
    ----------------------
    Crystal 10L .5 lbs
    Crystal 60L .5 lbs

    Fermentables
    ----------------------
    3.3 lbs Wheat LME (Full boil)
    2 lbs Light DME (Full boil)
    1 lb Golden Light DME (10 mins)
    1 lb Corn Sugar (end of boil)

    Other
    ----------------------

    The recipe looks OK though I did not put it into Beersmith to check the balances.

    The hops will settle and compact. Just siphon carefully so you don't transfer the trub.

    I'm confused.... Your last hop addition was at 30? Or at flameout? And why did you take the kettle off the heat at 30?

    EDIT: after re-reading I believe I have it....one hop addition at 60 and the last two hops went it at flameout for a total of 30 minutes before wort transfer.

    In that case I would just dry hop with your same
    Flameout hops now more then 5-7 days before bottling.
