Dryhop with: 1oz Amarillo, 1.5oz Citra, and 10z Simcoe for a week at 63F
Move a few of those ounces to flameout. 12.5 oz of dry hops is a bunch. You'll lose a gallon of beer.

I saw that too, and initially thought
, then realized it was supposed to read 1oz.Posted on 2/26/15 at 8:29 am to BMoney
Should we step up our dry hop game ?

No, 3.5 oz of dry hop should be good.

Just checking.

I think I will get to brew on Sunday morning 
and I have been itching to use this North Carolina wheat that I picked up in Asheville. Now the question becomes, do I just make a simple 50/50 Wheat Pilsner blend using one of the random hops that I picked up on Cyber Monday deals from Yakima Valley or do I try something more interesting. I plan on attempting to make 10 gallons so that half of this can go to Zapp's or receive a sour treatment (or both).
Mainly, if you had a specialty base grain what would you do?

Will be making a 50/50 wheat pilsner beer too on Sunday for Zapps but it'll be a Gose.

I'd probably sour half and use the other half in a Hoppy American Wheat. Something like Modern Times Fortunate Island ( LINK).

Thanks, I am going to run with this idea.
So on the flip side, which direction would you run with the sour side? And at some point I am going to just have to bite the bullet and turn the kegerator into a sour kegerator or just not be concerned about two of the lines as I am running out of bottling space.

I just use picnic taps for the Goses.

If I was donating to Zapps I'd probably do a tropical fruit berliner weisse style beer? Funky buddah makes a pineapple berliner that gets some great reviews?
Only concern is that the fortunate island recipe is 30 IBUs. Lacto wont do anything fast (if at all) at 30 IBUS so you would need to pull off that wort before you bittering hops.
With your rig you can pull 5 gallons through the heat exchanger at any time, right?

Correct. The hop schedule was what I was referring to as well. I don't have another burner as a buddy is using it to brew with, so the options for two concurrent batches are limited. I could boil for like 15 minutes before pulling some off and maybe just steeping some hops for limited IBU's for the sour.
I may just do 10 gallons of non sour to have some beer to serve at the house and at Zapp's.

I can't open the beersmith site at work and was wondering how they were getting the IBUs and sour at the same time.
If I were to do that with my standard Gose/Berliner type beer could I re-boil wort after lacto has done work for a few days and hop it to hell before pitching 1007 German Ale?
Want a quick and easy La Terroir type beer.

Fortunate Islands isn't sour.
I think he meant to split the batch to make a hoppy wheat and a sour he would have to split it before adding the bittering hops

Guys, what's your opinion on this recipe for a Slightly more bitter Pale ale? I can't decide between an all Galaxy or an all El Dorado Pale Ale. Galaxy would be easier to get.
70% 2-Row
10% Caravienne
10% Crystal 15
5% Carapils
5% Flaked Oats
- I'm wondering if i should just move the 5% carapils and change it to more crystal 15.
WLP001 California Ale yeast
Hops
.5 oz. Galaxy/El Dorado at FWH
1 oz. Galaxy/El Dorado @ 20 Min.
1 oz. Galaxy/El Dorado @ Flame Out/Whirlpool/Hop Stand 10 min.
2.5 oz. Galaxy/El Dorado dry hop for 5 days
OG - 1.055
IBU - 52

My opinion is that I'm happy you found a way to get a 102% grain bill.
