I`ve got a Sierra nevada clone on the boil and the recipe calls for 21g of Cascade at 0 mins and another 21g dry hop for 7 days.How does that work?Do I throw away the 1st 21g before transferring to fv and add another 21g into the fv?
 
0 mins is your flameout addition when you turn off the heat.
Depending on your cooling method leave them there until your transferring to your fermenter.
I chill using cubes so I add everything to the fermenter,let it cool then pitch the yeast.
Others will choose to filter everything out prior to fermenter but that's purely down to choice.

When using hop leaf in a hop bag, I boil the Aroma Hops for five minutes before Flame-Out, leave them in whilst the wort is cooled and then remove and squeeze out the bag after cooling down to about 60 degrees. When using hop pellets they are mainly removed after cooling when I transfer the wort to to FV.

From your description it appears as if the instructions are to dunk the hops in the wort AT Flame-Out, leave them there whilst the wort is cooled and then remove them.

I use the 2+2+2 system, so I occasionally add more aroma hops seven days into the fermentation period. This may correspond with your own instructions but as a first go I would put the separate 21g of hops in after the wort is cooled and in the FV.

At the moment, I'm trying out a hop tea system rather than cold hopping. I infuse the hops with 250ml of boiling water in a cafeteria for 30 minutes and then pour the "tea" into the Bottling Bucket along with the priming sugar.

Not being a massive hophead I find the extra kick just about right. :thumb:
 
I've started lowering the temp to 80c before adding flameout hops with great results. I've got an awsome recipe for Sierra Nevada, that I thinks better than the original. If anyone's interested it calls for over 200g of hops though

Always interested to hear of a new recipe, please do post. 200g is not a lot compared to some of the trendy NEIPA hop juice beers and most of Brewdog's catalogue.

Sorry was well over 200g

Thanks for posting that. Do you normally hit that 1.050 OG? The reason I ask is that if I enter that recipe into beersmith then I have to reduce BH efficiency right down to 56% to match it. If I use my more typical efficiency of 70% then I get an OG of 1.063.
 
I actually went way over at 1058 but the crossmyloof pale ale yeast I use usually finishes at 1010 or 1012. I'll have to check my settings in Brewer's Friend.

Just getting used to the grainfather as opposed to my old biab setup
 
If you want real hoppy flavour first cool to 78C before adding flameout hop and leave it for 30min. below 80C the hop oils form.
