Hey everyone,
I am planning on adding some rosemary to my next extract batch,
its a Rye ale, IPA but hopefully more hoppy than bitter, it will be brewed with Centennial, Columbus, and Willamette Hops, and i'm planning on adding some rosemary during the dry hoping. I saw some posts on the forum regarding rosemary and it seems to vary widely in how much to add and at what stage.
the plan is as follows for the hops and rosemary:
½ oz Columbus bittering hops. (45 Minutes)
Add ½ oz Centennial hops (20 Minutes).
Add ½ oz Columbus and ½ oz Centennial hops (10 Minutes)
Add ½ oz willamette (5 Minutes)
Dry hop (for 1 week) ½ oz willamette, 1 oz centennial , add 1-2 sprigs rosemary
Im planning on freezing the rosemary to break the plant cell walls but im afraid of heating/boiling as i dont want to release any really bitter additives to the batch.
Any comments on the hop schedule, rosemary addition, and sanitation of the rosemary would be welcome, thanks
