Sounds like a really good plan ... but I'm confused ... the 10g of fuggles at the end? Is that dry hopping?

I'm wondering why you don't just whack them in at the end of goldings boil, let them steep.

If your intention is to dry hop ... I'd wait a week and then pop them in (no need to boil) for another week before bottling.


And have you worked out the IBUs for this?


I think ...


%utlization will be about 30% for a 60 min boil.

and the weight of a plug is 28g (I think)


so ibu = utlization * (alpha acid / 100) * 1000 * weight / volume


          = 0.3 * (4.5/100) * 1000 * 28 / 23


          = 16 IBU


So you might want to have 1.5 plugs?? or even 2.
