I have around 300g fresh POR from my 1st year plant and want to try use most of it today, freezer is overflowing with hops and I want to use these while theyre nice and fresh. I have set aside 40g for a future CPA clone so heres what Im thinking for the rest.


100% Munich1 to 1.060 (6.6kg for 26L at 75% efficiency)

100% Fresh POR flowers @10 to 60IBU (220g assuming around 9%AA)

US05 (would like to do with coopers culture but wont have any in time)

Since I no chill I will make the wort up unhopped. No chill all but 7 or so litres which I will save for the following day to do a seperate boil with the hops. Add the hopped wort to the chilled wort straight away to get a genuine 10 minute hop boil.
Question is, shoild I up the hops since most chiller breweres will have their hopped wort at near boiling for closer to 20 minutes even though its calculated as a 10 min addition?

My recipe theory is that the 100% munich will leave more body than an ale using US05 which tends to strip alot of maltyness i feel. Hopefully it leaves alot of the hops aroma though.

Thoughts?
 
cube hop them. they will be a lovely addition so much flavour and aroma you wont believe the difference.
 
Thats a lot of volume worth of flowers is the cube but I suppost it would work. Being a high AA hop if it sits at a high temp in the cube for too long it could come out very bitter. Maybe cube hop and sit the cube in an ice bath and pitch to fermenter within 12 hours or so and strain the flowers out so theyre not sitting in the fermenter(may be hard to strain that much however).
Any opinions on the 100% munich1? Anyone brewed something similar?
 
its alot but they work. i did 4L of excess volume with 100g and damn its tasty. got nearly all the volume back out as well.

as for the munich, ive gone as high as 75% not 100. i say go for it and it will have a lot of body.
 
might go 80% munich1 and 20% pils. Was yours using POR?
 
no it was using ether chinook or wurtenburger
 
That's a lot of munich. Sounds like you'll wind up with a beer that tastes like honey with that much.

Hopper.
