Top 10 Tips for a Super Hoppy IPA

[jroth420]

I certainly think so. And will cost you a fortune, especially if you're doing 10 gallon batches! 20 oz in dry hops for 10 gallons? A pound and a quarter split between 2 vessels? That just seems excessive and I've had some bad results when I've let someone convince me that those numbers make sense. I'd definitely be wary of that amount.

Hate to dig up this oooooold Post but your recipe sounds great. Just recalculated the amount to kg / g and wondered - how much water did you use? I will recalculate Ballons to liters myself

You mention a PH between 5.4-5.6 with 5.45 being your ideal. Is that PH measured at room temp?

Yes a basic home brew recipe takes bout 2 weeks before bottling @ 5 gallon per batch depending on what you want for a final out come.

 

[Dan]

2 weeks of fermenting and 2 weeks till carbonation after bottling.Just be careful not to add too much primer sugar prior to bottling or you risk blowing bottles.

 

[YeastFeast]

Yes, unless you have a fancy PH meter that adjust for temp, measure PH at or as close as you can to 70F.
