I have only done up to 40g of Simcoe in a dry hop. Although that was also with 40g of Cascade and it went well. Only one way to know fur shur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, you can do it in a coffee plunger??? That way you extract actual flavour (oils) not just aroma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the hops in a sanitised coffee mug in their muslin bag with boiled water & steep for 15 minutes, chuck the lot in just before adding the yeast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
