went with that hop schedule I had there brewed it Thursday just added first dry hop this evening going to leave it for five days should I move to secondary them or wait two week and then move and dry hop second time.. Why have you dropped the temperature for the second dry hop... Also i added the magnum for bittering giving 48ibuReading about NEIPAs one or two things I took on board:
Keep the bittering low, 60 minute addition still helpful but not significant.
Late hops (if you want) but for mine I waited until flame out and added first flavour/aroma hops with 30 minute hop stand
Several people add first dry hops half way through the fermentation for 3-4 days
Second dry hops after fermenting finished fo 4- 6 days.
Mine is at the second dry hop stage, nice and fruity and just turned temp down to 4C and I am thinking of giving it a boost with hop tea just before kegging in a cornie in 2-3 days.
Do people adjust up the calculated IBU for the boil hops when doing a whirlpool/steep? The IBU in BeerSmith (mobile) for a 20min steep is about the same as for a 5 min boil. The calculator doesn't change the IBU contribution from the boil hops when I add the steep hops, so if the 5 min hops are staying in during the steep I reckon I should double their IBUs, do folk agree?
I am no expert but perhaps the all the alpha acid has been extracted?
