Dry hop scaling??

[Seaside brew]

Evening all. Hope everyone Is having a nice Friday evening. I’m after a bit of advice... again! I’ve recently paid the couple of quid to download Harrison’s brewery’s vacant gesture recipe and have scaled all the fermentables and boil hop additions but I can find a way of scaling the dry hop which I imagine is quite a big part of this ale’s finished flavor. Nothing like stating the obvious! I’m using brew farther. In his 500 liter batch it’s showing two 750g dry hop additions. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me with this. Hoping to Brew this in the next few days Is I can suss the dry hop out.

1500 / 500 * 23 =



(that's 69g for 23 litres if you can't be faffed watching a cliched video)

I’m such a nunt.... but even more so.. if that per dry hop?

 

[Drunkula]

if that per dry hop?

No, if the 750g is split into two that's 69/2 = 34.5g per drop for 23 litres.

Your a good man. Thanks for that mucker. I can’t even work out how you came up with that first equation!!

Hahaha.. spot on. Just see the vid. I used to love that film as a young rock fan

What do you reckon on timings? One after 3 days and the next when it’s fermented?

I can’t even work out how you came up with that first equation!!

1500g of hops in 500 litres = 3g per litre so for 23 litres it's 69g.

Just had a look at Harry's video and he puts the first dry hop in on day 5, then the next lot 3 days later and leaves it another 2 days.

Commercial or larger scale brewers tend to ferment for a shorter time than homebrewers. Not really sure why. In this example it only gives you 10 days in the FV rather than 14. I went on a tour of Hawkshead brewery and they keg at 7 days and allow the residual sugars to carbonate the beer. I suppose their precise temperature control allows them to do this.

Oh yeah!! The 1500 was a bit lost on me when I first read your reply.. literally didn’t put 2&2 together. Day 5 and 3 days after it shall be then. Shall hopefully get this one done in the next few days
