I wouldn't say I'm missing it, Bob.

Well, I said something about Olan being delusional using 10oz of dry hops in 5 gals.
Just found out Maine beer uses 6 pounds per barrel in Dinner. I did the math...like 3 times because I was so flabbergasted.Posted 34 days ago.
I think my highest might still be my BU Amber. That was something like 5oz. Maybe ive done a pale ale with 6 or so.
Fuck i need to make that Amber again. I just dont know if i kept good enough notes for how i toasted the pils malt. Also this isnt the time of year for me to be using pils since im boiling on the stove. I think i'd be okay (i get a pretty good boil going), but im not willing to risk it. My first pils was a cream corn bomb, and thats a flavor you never forget.

Heh. I'm at one pound total, but only 10 oz for dry hop.
Maybe next time, I need MOAR HOPZ!

Makes me wish I could ferment in a giant french press, just plunge down the hop matter at the end. Yield loss becomes a real issue for me on IPAs.

A lb/5G isn't a-typical out here.

For dryhop only? 3oz/gallon? That seems pretty dramatic.
1lb for 5 gallons for brewday + dryhop is maybe about right...

I'm with Ray. Those are normal "high hopping" amounts, to me.

Personally, I've not gone that high, but I see and taste them pretty frequently where the dry hop is that large, yes.

Well, this beer has been cold now for ~48 hours, and gelatin has been in for ~36. Keg it tonight? Wait another day or two?

This baby is kegged. Slightly undershot my OG (1.061, target was 1.063). OG was a fuzz high (1.015), but it *is* Conan, after all.
Good googly moogly, this thing smells SO. HOPPY.
Also... kegging is amazing. 30 minutes to keg, including cleaning, sanitizing, siphoning. Whoa.

Welcome to the 'kegging is far superior' club :D

I mean, I can pull a pint of it tonight, just to see. For these hop aromas, it would be almost criminal to not do so.

I think I owe you something along the lines of "I told you so"
