Hop Utilisation

Post by Wez » Tue Apr 24, 2007 5:54 pm

Is there a table for calculating %ge hop utilisation? I've been working on 20% util for a 60min+ boil but have read somewhere that i should be working on 27%? Also What %ge would you expect from a 15 min boil. I'm Confused :roll:

I posted a hop utilisation table from Designing Great Beers by Ray Daniels here although it is only supposed to be approximate (unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much of a consensus on hop utilisation - IIRR there are three different formulas used in Promash alone :roll: )
