60 minute Additions

Post by barney » Fri Nov 11, 2011 10:13 am

Will a 60 minute hop addition contribute any flavour or aroma?

IS it possible to calculate the amount of flavour that will be imparted to the brew?

I think thats probably a tall order, was thinking along the lines of X amount of hops will impart strong hopflavour, medium light etc.

You will have a flavour and aroma associated with the bittering hops, but the lighter aromas and flavours will be boiled off, hence the aroma hops added near the end of the boil.

For a nice floral hop aroma I put a small amount in at flame out to steep in there as it cools.

In terms of measuring, not sure but someone more knowledgable should be along :)

One or two hops like chinook are pungent enough to carry over to the end, but most hops need some added at the end.
I'm just here for the beer.
