Hey guys,
I've been brewing a while and am a big fan of hoppy beers. Over the various batches, I've started to approach a level of hopping that to me seems extreme, but I'm still not getting the results I want. Maybe I'm ill informed, and that I'm simply not adding enough hops, or maybe it's something to do with my technique.
Take my last batch as an example:
New Zealand Pale 4.4% - 10L batch size
30mins: 20g Nelson Sauvigne
0 mins(15 mins steep): 60g Nelson Sauvigne
Don't get my wrong, it's quite hoppy, but hasn't got that full bodied thick hop flavour that I like. From reading other people's recipes, they add less hops than me but talk about bigger flavours than I can describe.
There's plenty of guides about regarding IBUs and bitterness, but is there any available regarding the relationship of hop amounts-flavour?
Cheers
