the brewers at the brewpub i work at payed a visit to the alchemist brewery. i was talking with them one day and asked if they thought they used hop extract at all. one of them did, the other didnt and mentioned he could only see zythos, simcoe, and summit in their fridge of hops.

hah i dont mind losing my face. but yes it was a 5-gallon batch. I'm considering taking all my hop additions and dividing the quantities in half for the next batch. I added 1 oz summit and 1 oz centennial at 30 min, 1 oz cascade and .5 oz of centennial at 20 min, 1 oz citra 1 oz amarillo at...

About to bottle a mainly extract session IPA/APA that is about 4.7% ABV. OG was 1.048 and settled around 1.012-1.011. But what I'm concerned about the 111 IBU that I calculated from the hop additions. I did not add any hops until 30 min, which was 1 oz summit and 1 oz centennial, then added...

With the intel i've gathered, the hop varieties are predominantly Zythos, Simcoe, and Summit.

True, definitely don't wanna disturb the fermentor too much. Might just do the 7 days, or wait and extra 2 or 3 days in the primary and dry hop 5 days in carboy, then bottle naturally.

Just worried about potential grassy/vegetable flavor from dry hop. I've already used a considerable amount of hops late in the boil with my recipe, 8oz spread out at 30 min, 20 min, 15 min, 5 min and at flame out so it's considerably aromatic and flavorful, but just want an extra cascade dry...

Right on, my bottling bucket is my primary fermenting vessel so I intend on racking to the carboy for another 7 days and dry hopping for the last 5 days. I want to clean the bucket and have it available for easy bottling.

Brewed a late boil session ipa/APA with OG of 1.048 and has reached 1.014 within 5 days and looking for 1.010, but imagine that will be soon. Should I rack to carboy for dry hop before 2 weeks in primary?
