    Now we'll determine which of the flavor/aroma hops will be used in the Flameout/Whirlpool/Hopstand addition. The potential combinations are unique. Straight plurality wins.

    This addition is hops added at or after flameout, but before fermentation. Individual system capabilities will vary widely. Do what you want to/can do.

    For those looking ahead, the next poll will determine quantity(s) of hops for this addition, before moving on to the dry hop.

    This poll will be open for 48 hours.

    If you have issues with or suggestions for methodologies used in this project, please Beer Mail me.
    Let's keep the threads themselves on topic to the question at hand (not about how you would have asked the question differently). I will not address methodology questions in the forum any more. I'm not going to risk having a thread deleted due to a flame war. If this irks you, please consider not playing.

    Hard to imagine we won't end up with all three (which is fine by me!). Same for dry hop.

    Yeah, I see the trend is.. a bit of everything at every addition.

    Which I'm fine with!

    When people are undecided, and presented with multiple choices, one of those choices giving the option to select all, they usually tend to choose ALL OF THE ABOVE.

    Not the way I create IPA recipes, but maybe this little project will show me what it can do.

    I can say that this recipe so far is really not much like any IPA I have ever made. I'm starting to look forward to getting this finished and brewed.

    Perhaps not a surprise: Simcoe, Centennial, and Cascade.
