Cascade IPA - Hopstand?

[Pale Ales and Such]

Hello,

I have some cascade hops and Munich LME left after some batches I made and I wanted to experiment with the hopstand technique.The recipe I’m creating is for a 1 gallon brew and this is what I wanted to try:

1-gallon batch IPA
- 2 lbs of Munich LME
- 0.2 oz of Cascade for 30 minute boil
- 0.5 oz of Cascade for 30 minute hopstand: 180 degrees

let me know if anyone has any thoughts on this. Would you dry hop as well with this? Keep in mind, the cascade hops are all I have left over.

thanks!

If you are using Briess Munich LME, take a look at the description (link) to confirm it's the type of IPA you want to brew.

The overall process looks like a good way to start experimenting with hop stands.

2 lbs of Munich LME puts you around 1.080 for a 1 gallon batch - not a bad thing at all! I agree it's a great way to experiment with hopstands/whirlpool additions. In our experiments, we have seen no difference between 20, 30 and 40 minute hopstands. On our system, at least, it seems like we get max terp extraction right about that 20 minute mark. Something you should play with! Also, definitely dry hop. Always dry hop!

So, how much should I add for dry hopping and for how long? I never have a good idea on that.

I always have luck mirroring my WP/HS additions and dry hop additions. Try 0.5 oz Cascade for 3 - 5 days. Unless you're using Cryo Hops, I always keep my dry hop to 5 days, 7 at an absolute max.
