Spending hours browsing old threads on here and other sites(how did we know anything before Goggle), I see lots of recipes and I'm always thinking how little hops that are use, and most with heavy 60 minute additions.
I guess its a function of both personal preferences and the changing times.
For instance, I just read a thread from 2011 where the OP posted a SMaSH recipe that consisted of 10 lbs 2 row, 2oz Cascade@60 .5 @30 and .5 @ 10.
I admit I overdo hops and its mostly all late addition.
I brewed my (ever changing hop schedule)Pittyhuahua Pale Ale today.
10.5 Pale 2 row
1 20l Crystal 2 row
.5 warrior 60
1 Cascade 10
1 Columbus 5
1 Cascade 5
2 Columbus Flame out
2 Cascade Flame out
2 Citra Dry(last time was 3oz Citra dry, no Amarillo)
2 Amarillo dry
I mean, that looks like a crazy way over hopped brew, but it is always fantastic to me, and I get rave reviews.
And my IPA contains 4.5 more OZ's of hops
I don't know, am I crazy, wasting money or what? LOL
