Notes

1oz amarillo + 1oz citra if they smell ok: 5 min
1oz cryo mosaic + 1oz amarillo: 20 min whirlpool
DH 3days: 2 oz cryo mosaic


I don’t have an exact recommendation on the ppm of calcium chloride to have in New England IPAs or the perfect ratio of S04/CaCI2 but my experience would suggested starting with <200pm of calcium chloride and a S04/CaCI2 ratio of close to 1:1 (which does go slightly against some of the research).
