Gotcha, makes sense. How big is the hop bag you use and approximately how many oz (assuming pellets) are you using for hopstand, typically? Also, why aren't you moving the wort around during your hop stand/whirl pool/ whatever step... worried about infection, don't have a pump, or just...

Agreed with the perceived versus actual point, and the good ol trial and error method to suit personal preference. I did recently come across some research indicating that isomerization is taking place, to some extent, all the way down to ~145 F or so. That said, I might have to decrease my...

I hear what you're saying, and probably splitting hairs here, but I don't track with all you're saying. That momentary contact with the 200+ wort will isomerize a higher amount than a whirlpool (assuming a temp of 150-170ish), and the extent of this will be highly dependent upon a system's...

Yeah, this makes sense to me. Just call the 0 minute (flame out) addition a separate whirlpool addition and assume a higher utilization.

I'm wondering if it makes sense to have a hop utilization assumption for whirlpooling but not aroma (zero time boil hops), as the current system does. If I am whirlpooling around 170 and assume ~11% hop utilization for an IBU contribution, it seems we also assume some IBU contribution from the...

Awesome, thank you.

Hey all - I brewed yesterday and made a Snapshot of my brew session. I ended up using slightly different hop quantities with different alpha acid levels than the original recipe. I want to update the recipe for this Snapshot to reflect the deviation from the original recipe, but I do not want...

Make some kombucha!
