Toe of dog will get you in the ballpark but if you really want to nail it, you should only use the dew claw.

Some HBTers will actually give this a shot and declare it the only way to brew from now on.

Instead of using gypsum I have been using pulverized bones from long dead, dug up Abbey Monks. I find an extra trueness when adjusting my brewing water in this manner.

The one True Beer brewer.
Just don't call it a "Trappist" beer. They enforce those trademarks. But "Long Dead, Dug Up Monk Bones Abbey Ale" has a certain ring to it.

Do you mean major homebrew contests like the AHA National Hombrew Competition? You know the largest homebrew competition in the world. They just set a new record of 8,618 entries. The best of show etnry (best of all 8,618) was an American wild ale, 100% brett, and 7 oz of hops in a 10 gal batch.
The 2016 NHC best of show was a hefeweizen that used 1 oz of hops in 5 gal batch. hefe recipe
Best Commercial Beer 2017: Bell's Two Hearted Pale Ale. From the brewer themselves, they use centennial hops. This clone recipe was provided by Bell's and it uses 5.9 oz hops per 5 gal batch. Bell's recipe
Before that Russian River's Pliny the Elder won the competition 8 years in a row. It uses a whopping 12.5 oz of hops in a 6 gal batch. Pliny recipe
So what major competitions are you refering? Which 'pro' brewers don't use hops?
Looking forward to this recipe, that you'll post soon.

Shoot. I wasn't fast enough to type in a "fell in a hole and became the first tappist monk" bad joke.

Sadly 21stA already has Monk's Blood, which I can only assume means that they also hold the rights to ales brewed with any other Monk extracts or rendered Monk bits, so we'll have to come up with a different name...
Don't hold your breath waiting for #fredthecat to respond. That's the MO of people in the fake news business. They spout their dubious claims, then quickly retreat back into the woodwork the moment anyone asks for proof.

Praise be to Abby Monks, founder of the one True Beer(TM), savior of those once thought doomed to forever imbibe macro swill! She who is the brewer of the True, holder of the divine fungal catalyst, that which brings the magical foam. and detractor of all things luponic in in nature!
Thanks and praise to fredthecat, that great proselytizer of the cause of Abby Monks and the way of the True, he the devout believer and sharer and missionary of the way of the True Beer(TM). We aspire to your conviction!
Great acclamation for the ways of the True and thanks be to Abby Monks and fredthecat for revealing to we humble brewers the mysteries and secrets of the ducks, and the CVBM(TM), and the elderberry forges and those great many other True rituals to be held and practiced by the devout and humble followers, we who some day hope and dream to achieve the one True Beer(TM)!
May we all some day rejoice in the sound of the death knell of that base and foul and ultimately UnTrue weed, and all else luponic, once and forever, and pay homage to the True ways, at once known and unknowable, and be appeased.

Woe unto us! How quickly the faithful can wander from the fold!
Those among us who remain faithful must band together to preserve the rich heritage of this once noble and proud brewing tradition.
I only brew True Manly Man bear.
None of that Sissy boy girlie man beer for me.
No way.
Only True Manly Man beer, and that uses hops, lots of 'em.

I brew true beer all the time, I am the classic lazy and cheap home brewer breed.
Dear everyone trying to ask serious questions or reason with him,
Stop it.

At this point it is kinda unclear who is messin with who. This is sorting of the HBT version of Swinging - everybody is messing with everybody...
I started using the scrap pieces of drywall laying outside of Home Depot, the employees were happy i was cleaning them up for free.... suckers.....
Wait.... what?
I tried using drywall in a beer once, but everyone said it had a cardboard taste. I tried to explain that it is True Beer(TM), but they all walked out. I guess they just weren't ready for it.

I live in Colorado...would our State plant be for bittering or dual purpose in lieu of those old, nasty hops?
Perhaps the OP has first hand knowledge which is why we get crazy ass, somewhat random posts?!

Could you send me some for testing? I like to hop the heck out of my IPAs so a pound or two should be a start. Results will be posted here

Buncha savages.
Yeah. Civilized folks peel off the paper.
So, you use a lot of gypsum in your IPAs?
No I just inhale the dust at work.

I'm still not convinced. I can take a picture of a beer and post it on hbt too. Recipe or that's a quadruple dry hopped triple IPA
Spot on. Remember Altraz? Some trolls are just people with delusions joining in to quell their anxieties, until the nice young men in their clean white coats show up, so-to-speak. I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden posts stopped. I am amazed this thread continues to amuse, but here I am taking a look at the train wreck.

You heathen! The true beer Messiah has arrived and now has shown proof of his /her/its greatness, do you still doubt him/her/it?
I for one will be flushing my stash of hops down the toilet and follow greatness!
Dude, that isn't even your pic! You pulled that off of pintrest.
Anybody can right click that image and google search it. If you want to actually post a genuine pic, do so. It's easy to cross reference if you don't.
That picture is of a Founders All Day IPA Clone HomeBrew Recipe. Apparently even you can't visually discern a true beer from non! You do know what hops are, don't you? Do you even make beer?

How dare you?! Fredthecat (PBUH) had opened our eyes to the glory of True Beer (TM) and you choose to blaspheme Him with talk of Pinterest! There is one beer but True Beer (TM) and Fred is its prophet.
Fred willing, I will martyr myself for The Cause. Deth to false beer!
