Too many hops?

That is why I want to know anyone's experiencs with using hopshot late in the boil, so that my only worry for absorption is dry hopping.

I don't have personal experience, but it's suppose to be used just like leaf hops. You can use it for bittering or late addition. So I assume you'll be ok.

Well I read it is derived from CTZ (makes sense since it's cheap and high alpha) so it should do just fine in the recipe. I'll be sure to cut out Columbus from the dry hop to keep some complexity to such a monster.

Me and brewing buddy do something with all the hops we don't use for the year ...we always buy more than we need Hopsdirect sidewalk sale I'm look at you

Any ways we made a 10 gallon batch with 33oz of hops ...be creative ...hop strike water and the mash you will be surprise ..hops drop PH to 5.2 ...don't know why they just do...concentrate on the last 15 minutes and just go crazy

The brew software calculated 300IBU we know that's impossible but it was fun...the beer actually ended up winning several medals in the Imperial IPA cat

To add to Schu's comment... We as well have won several awards with our IIPA and we use 31 oz. of various hops for a 6 gallon batch. Granted, we also account for the trub loss of about 1.5 gallons due to dry hop absorption (We actually brew a 7 gallon batch to yield a 5.5 gallon final product)... At 279 IBU (Yes, theoretically impossible) this is our schedule for an IIPA that is over the top but balanced. We also mash hop, first wort hop, etc.. but the key is balance. And, besides... One can NEVER add. Too. Much. Hops.

Cheers,

What ABV were you at? I've done about 10 oz in the last ten minutes and it came out like juice, so I am weary on the amount I can add late for the flavor. Also I tried to overbitter a 8% and it was pretty much undrinkable. I think the 60 min addition clocked in around 140. What 60 min ibus did you have good results with and still keep balance?
