Source Notes:
Try this tasty wet-hops harvest ale recipe from Crazy Mountain Brewing Company in Vail, Colorado. Kevin Selvy, founder and CEO of Crazy Mountain Brewing Company in Vail, Colorado, shared this recipe for a tasty wet-hops harvest ale.
Notes:
Mash at 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes. Boil for 60 minutes following the hops schedule. The term 'Wet Hop' refers to hops that are used fresh off the vine without being processed. These can only be used during the fall immediately following harvest. Vail Valley water is very hard. Here’s the water profile we use (it’s a pretty typical Burton-style water profile) if you want to match it: Calcium 223 parts per million (ppm) Magnesium 10 ppm Sodium 44 ppm Sulfate 490 ppm Bicarbonate 51 ppm Chloride 69 ppm
