DirectionsThis method produces 2 separate Pale ales from one brew day. The (Magnum/Topaz/Warrior) boil hop used should be neutral in flavor and high in alpha acid (~15%), to bring out the individual characteristics of each unique flavor/aroma hop that will be used later.

At the start of or the day before brewday, soak 1 oz of vodka with 1 oz of hops in a mason jar for each of your 5 gallon pale ales. 


15 minutes before flameout, fill each jar with boiling wort and loosely cover with lid. Add jars of hops while transferring wort to fermentors.

I've had great success trying out and understanding hop varieties using this method.

If you want a lower gravity just change the 2-row to 12

Fermentation
notes
68 degrees for 7 days or until activity has slowed but not stopped (very slow bubbling from airlock, but not still), add dry hops. 

Keg or bottle 3-4 days later. 

Bottle condition for 2 weeks and drink ASAP, or keg using your preferred method (shake or wait) and once carbed... drink ASAP.

Fresh hops are the best hops.
