Hop utilisation.
Not sure what I’m doing wrong but getting some crazy numbers from brewers friend.
I’ve been advised that you get about 50% hop utilisation at 90c. so I assume this means you can add double the hops if its for the same time period and get same ibu but more flavour.
However Instead of adding more hops I was looking extending the hop stand. So given 50% utilisation, would 20 mins at 90c give same ibus as 10 mins at 100c? or is the extraction not linear time wise?
Brewers friend must be miles out it gives over a 100 ibus for a 50% utilisation hop stand at 90c for 10 mins?
Help appreciated chaps
