I feel like this should be a relatively simple issue, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer.
I'm looking to do a hop stand on a beer I'm formulating. From what I've read I'm seeing values somewhere between 10-15% hop utilization, or being equivalent to X minute boil. All of these things will be dependent upon exposure time and temperature of course.
I'm wondering what influence gravity has on this. I would think that just like boiled hops, the utilization of the hop stand would proportionally go down.
I've also seen estimates of approximately 1/2 the boil duration utilization for a hop stand at 190F. IE, a 30 minute hopstand for 1.060 wort has about 8.1% utilization compared to 16.2% for a boil. This is what Beersmith uses at least.
I understand there are more factors at play here, but would using the 1/2 utilization compared to boil, and figuring in the appropriate utilization based on gravity be the best ball park?
