My wife and friends are big fans of really hoppy double IPA beers, so I regularly brew them a big fat >100IBU 2IPA.
The only recipe for these I make is with four additions of Chinook hops, and I was thinking of mixing it up a bit next time for them.
When I look up other recipes for American Double IPA, I see multiple hop additions all through the boil.
1. Why add hops SO many times?
2. What benefits are there to hopping shedules of 7 or 8 hops in the one brew?
