The Friday Question

Last weeks question was a tricky one I admit and produced some interesting answers but I judge Dave G to be the winner as his guess of 14lbs of hops was spot on and he got 2 out of the 4 hops correct, nice one. For those of you interested here are the particulars of the hop additions:

start of boil : 4 lbs First Gold, 2 lbs Target

@ 1 hour : 2 lbs Bramling Cross

late hop (leaf in hop percolator) : 3 lbs Bramling Cross, 3 lbs Kent Goldings

so Dave you get a choice of prizes, either a growler of Oliver Ale and a t-shirt or 2 tickets to the forthcoming BAM Springfest in Frederick on May 29th.

For this weeks question the prize remains the same, tickets for Springfest or some Oliver’s merch/beer. The question is this :

Next week, as you know, we will be brewing batch #2 of the Hot Monkey Love. The recipe changes a little every time I brew it. What will be the original gravity of batch # 2 and how many lbs of grain will be used in making a 7 barrel batch?  Have at it and good luck!
