Mike McDole's Double IPA Based on the Russian River Brewing Company's Pliny The Elder, this recipe has two hop additions (Northern Brewer and Cascade), a higher starting gravity and a 153 °F (67 °C) versus 151 °F (66 °C) mash temperature. One of the winners of Boston Brewing Company's LongShot contest.

Save Your Hops for Post-Boil In 30 years of homebrewing, I've seen a wide variety of "hop" trends and fads. Boil hops, flavor hops, aroma hops, whirlpool hops, dry hopping, fermentation hopping, continuous hopping, mash hopping, hop infusions, hop extracts, and of course the newest designer IPAs.

Mash Hopping Q When mash hopping, do you need to add the weight of the hops into the grain bill water-to-malt ratio? Or is the amount of hops really not a factor here, even though the hops will take up an amount of the water added to the mash?
A The direct answer to this question is no. Hops do not need to be figured into the water-to-malt calculus. This ratio is used to determine strike water temperature and has a real effect on mashing enzymatics and first wort gravity (important when considering really big brews). In a nutshell, malt weight and mash thickness influences wort volume and wort gravity. Wort yield into the fermenter is another story.

Mash/Lauter Ton Time has a way of revealing flaws in our efforts, mine included. This is true of the RIMS mash tun that was built in the December 2001 issue. I've used that prototype for two years and discovered a need for change. Our new version should benefit every home brewer contemplating the switch to all grain brewing.

Odell Easy St. Wheat clone According to Odell's website, "Living in Colorado, "Easy Street" is more of a state of mind than an actual place. Light in color with refreshing citrus undertones, Easy Street is an unfiltered American-style wheat beer. The yeast gives the beer a nice smooth finish, a slight fruit flavor, and its distinct cloudy appearance."
(5 gallons/19 L, partial mash)
OG = 1.045 FG = 1.011
IBU = 16 SRM = 5 ABV = 4.4%
Ingredients
1.5 lb. (0.68 g) Briess wheat dried malt extract
3.3 lbs. (1.5 g) Briess wheat liquid malt extract (late addition)
1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) wheat malt

Buying and Storing Bulk Hops Hops make up a small percentage of a beer recipe, but they have arguably the biggest impact on the flavor and aroma. Even stouts and darker styles, typically seen as malt-centric, require the perfect hop additions to properly accentuate and marry with the malts. Brewing the best beer requires the best hops. And when an ingredient is as important as hops is to beer, it is essential to understand as much about it as possible. Learning about hops will ultimately help brew better beer, craft unique and creative recipes, and even save money.

How do hops affect the final gravity of a beer? Q How do hops affect the final gravity of a beer? I recently brewed a new England IPA with 12 ounces of hops for 5 gallons (19 l). The final gravity was 1.018 and i expected 1.014 with the Gigayeast Vermont IPA yeast. So to me it tastes stronger than the 5.5% ABV that i calculated, and i don't understand why the hop content Doesn't make the hydrometer
float higher.
A Hops do not have a significant impact on wort or beer density because the concentration of hop soluble compounds is simply too low to make much of an impact on density. In order to increase the density of 1 liter of wort by 1 ˚Plato, 0.01 kg or 10,000 mg of soluble solids must be added. A beer that contains 100 mg of iso-alpha-acids per liter of beer (100 IBUs) adds sufficient "extract" to boost the gravity by 0.1 ˚Plato, which is within the error range of the typical brewery hydrometer.

Barcodes for Your Homebrew You spend hours making your own beer and then bottling or kegging it, not to mention the countless time spent researching and planning for your brew days. When people hear you brew your own beer, they want to try it. Homebrewers give a lot of beer away, but we often never hear any feedback from the consumers (friends, family, strangers at homebrew festivals, etc).
