Hi Guys.. haven't been brewing and running out of beer. I'm going to make an IPA tomorrow that has a bunch of different hops but they're added at different times. I'm relative to most of you guys new to this so some advice please..
The recipe calls for hops at beginning, middle and end and then dry..
Questions:
I get adding beginning and middle - at the start and mid point of the boil.
But for the end do I add them just before I turn off the heat - I assume the point of that is to have those "end" hops added to get heated up to release more oils etc.. is that why? Or should I add it just after I turn off the heat/boil and before I cool it?
And for the dry hop adding - do I do it a few days later or I do it once it goes into the carboy? And do you leave them in there until you're going to rack to a bottling bucket? I'm using a carboy so I was thinking of using a sock for these dry hops which means I probably would have trouble pulling them out of the carboy early.. I have a bucket but everything I read says they don't seal well enough..
What would you do?
This is the recipe: https://brewdogrecipes.com/recipes/punk-ipa-2010-current
i had this beer a few months a go and REALLY liked it. Took me a while to get the hops and this one has definitely been more expensive given all the hops but I wanted to give it a try.. should have emailed them my questions but just thought about this and I don't think I'd get a reply on in time to brew tomorrow..
As always, thanks in advance!
