I am in the process of trying to auto order Hops in the BruControl software, This is a fun challenge for me and of course I could do it manually, but where is the fun in that? From BeerSmith, you can bring over 8 hops. This may not be a limit but the Node Red code (@RiverCityBrewer ) we have does bring over up to 8 different Hops. Once in BruControl, we have pre divided the Hops into 6 General Categories:
A shout out to @BrunDog for creating BruControl. Because of the way it is written, if you can think it, you can do it with BruControl.
1. Start of Boil
2. Bitter Hops During Boil
3. Flavor Hops During Boil
4. Amora Hops During Boil
5. Flame Out Hops
6. Hop Rocket
I am only trying to order those hops during the Boil.
Since there can be up to 8 Hops in any Order, you have 40,320 possible combinations.
I have successfully ordered up to 5 (only a 120 choices)
I am ordered within each Category so as long is there are five or less hops in a category (Bitter, Flavor, or Aroma), my code will do it.
Personally, we have never even used 5 different hops during a Boil. And when we have even 4 hops, they are normally not all a single category (Bitter, Flavor, or Aroma).
Right now, if there are greater than 5 hops in a category, BruControl just allows us to manually order the hops.
Do you have a super Hopped Recipe where YOU use more than five Bitter Hops or five Flavor Hops or five aroma Hops during the Boil Phase?
What are the Maximum number of Hops you use?
