Dry Hop Absorbtion question

[cvisinho]

Happy Friday everyone!

Quick question. I've been researching whole cone hop absorption and can safely estimate between 4.5-6oz liquid is absorbed per oz of whole cone hops.

I'm trying to document this properly so I don't have to re-research every year when I harvest.

I am going to add approx. 4 oz of cones in the boil so I can loosely equate that to a loss of lets say 20oz.

So I will add that to the pre boil.

BUT my dry hop is going to be around 10 oz total. So that's another addition of 50 oz.

Should I make any grain adjustments for the overall water addition or am I just over thinking this?

Yea, more grain.

But due to volume loss and not efficiency loss.
(technically it is "brewhouse efficiency" loss)

I would just plan on adding volume to your preboil, if you have the capacity.
