And here's my two penn'orth, which I've added because I learned something today. :thumb:. I was going to add a hop tea to my brew today instead of just a dry hop. The intention was to make the hop tea then chuck hops and liquid into the brew based on 55g Cascade pellets. I was going to steep the pellets in water at 80*C, not boiling cos it drives off some of the the hop oils you want to retain as aroma, and just allow to cool over 30mins. So I heated 100ml water and added it to the hops. Result was a fairly damp mass of hops. :-?. I have no idea how much water would be needed to make up a fairly mobile slurry, and didn't want to dilute my brew since I had not allowed for the excess liquid, so abandoned the idea and chucked the damp hops into the brew. Lesson learned.
Perhaps someone out there can advise how much water is needed to make up a 'tea' say ml water per 10g hop pellets.
