- In this episode Logan tackles the hoppiest IPA we've brewed to date! We answer the question of how best to use a heavy hop bill, and we find out if it's possible to make a palatable 5 gallon batch, using 2.5 lbs of hops!

Personally I dislike the current craze for overhopped beer . Reminds of the craze for getting the hottest possible curries. Give me properly balanced brew or a nice flavour balanced meal. But each to their own! If that's what you like then you brew it and drink it.. after al that is the joy of brewing at home - you get to please yourself
Well most people can please themselves without homebrewing - but I totally agree that balance is best. Our goal here was to take all the hops we wanted to get rid of and try to make a not-too-bitter beer while using all of them :)
Do you still do the vodka infusions? How do you drink it? I thought of soda water to help release the hop aromatics
You guys are good fun, so I’ve subscribed 😉🥃slainte
We appreciate it!
There has to be a point of no dissolution, I mean that is what the term saturation is. You can only dissolve so much crap into the water until its saturated, at which point you're throwing money and hops in the trash, quite literally. I have no idea how much is too much but when you're talking about chemistry there literally is a point where you cannot keep adding junk to a fluid. I think that's why you see the film you were talking about.
Thanks guys. Love the experimental insights.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Plus you pretty much have your "salad" meal ready for the day...

How many oz. of each type of hop was there?
You could have sparged the hops maybe?
This a fine beer, but tis no barn
Is it spicy?
Use a hop spider 😐
I can handle the extra hops I'd just rather not.
At some point it just kind of becomes a waste of money...
Who's the caveman..lol
He goes by mini-squatch :)
This sort of stuff (2 lbs of hops! You have got to have more than one screw loose) is why the craft beer segment peaked at around 15% of the overall beer market a few years back. Too much of a good thing is not good. You too can make your beer more than 10 times more bitter than Miller High life and leave a horrible, lingering bitter aftertaste that goes on for 30 minutes after drinking a 12 oz beer and claim it is better than Miller or Bud. (I had such a horrible, bitter after taste from drinking a 12 oz Sierra Nevada Extra IPA Torpedo, one of the worst things I have ever drank and had to rinse my mouth SEVERAL times to get rid of that bitter taste). Making EXTREME beers and claiming it is good beer is a bad joke. You folks are going to ruin your own garden with all the weeds you claim are flowers. If you want to grow your business (not drive away customers) you will not do so by appealing to the small, minority that seek out extreme beers. If I lived in your area and this was what you were pushing, I would find another pusher.
So, how much money would those hops have cost at your store? Was it 3 or 4 times the grain bill? I guess you need to justify your behavior and claim throwing 20 to 30 dollars down your drain makes for a good tasting beer. Hopefully, you do not believe your own BS, I sure don't.
lol - did you even watch the video?
