Ingredients (Partial Mash, 5 gal)

  • 13.3 lbs American 2-row

  • 1 oz Centennial - 9.2 AA% pellets; added dry to secondary fermenter

    Centennial

    Aromatic but acceptable for bittering. Medium aroma with floral and citrus tones. Good in medium to dark ales.

  • 1 tsp Irish Moss - 10 Minutes (omitted from calculations)

    Irish Moss

    A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.

Notes

Actual Yeast WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast A friend harvested me a pound of Cascade wet hops. I plugged in the bitterness at 1/5 of that of dry hops, it looked like I needed to use the whole pound. 7 days moved to secondary with dry hops. Gravity 1.014 Taste and aroma was of honey but no bitterness. Decided to boil some warrior hop pellets for 60 minutes in 2 cups of water with 2/3 cup dma and add it to secondary. Pulling out the Cascade dry hops and putting in 1 ounce centennial pellet hops After 7 days in secondary, bottled with 5 oz of corn sugar. Final Gravity 1.012

Bitterness Fix

2011-10-04 1:58pm

Trying to fix a Wet Hopped IPA that didn't bitter enough. At 7 days moved to secondary with dry hops. Gravity 1.014 Taste and aroma was of honey but no bitterness. After 3 days in secondary I decided to boil some warrior hop pellets for 60 minutes in 2 cups of water with 2/3 cup dma and add it to secondary. Pulling out the Cascade dry hops and putting in 1 ounce centennial pellet hops. Keeping my fingers crossed

Wow that is alot of hops...i dont think dry hopping tends to give any bitterness at all if it does its very little. More for flavor and aroma than anything else.

Lot of hops, explained

The hops were wet hops which have a 1/5 ratio of strength to Dry hops. When I bottled it I tasted again and adding the boiled Warrior hops fixed the bitterness issue and the Centennial dry hops gave it a nice citrus aroma. Seems like the wet hops will mostly contribute to flavor. May have better tasting notes after carbonation if you are interested.
