Yea, they've been arguing about the limits being from 85-120 for a while. It's like listening to people go on about Global Warming.
What gives beer it's "mouth fullness" and other general beer questions.

Ok this seems like another dumb question but I need to ask it. If the pellets desolve into the liquid how do I take em out after 1-2 weeks?
If your container has a wide enough mouth, I would use a muslin/mesh hops bag and just fish it out when I'm done. Boil the bag first to sterilize it.
well i had enough honey for a 3 gallon batch so this is what i did....
3gallons of water(touch replaced after boil)
..... i assumed i was suppose to use the "tea water" from the boil
11lbs honey
boiled 1oz US Fuggle for 15mins
1oz dry US Fuggle
waiting for the water to cool down and ill pitch D47. we will see.

Almost any hop tea is a hard thing to take. I've always thought Fuggles were earthy. Amarillo, Citra and Simcoe are my favorites.
for future experiments is there a website that lists hops that also has a brief description?
What are people's thoughts on letting the hops go two weeks. It already has a strong(but not bad) flavor, so I was wondering if one week would be fine.
i ended up adding 3lbs of honey, cuz i had a brain fart and this is a 4 gallon batch and not a 3 gallon. but oh it smells yummy
ive been reading that hops flavor tends to fade rather quickly, should i leave the hops in longer?
I listened to a conference by Vinnie form Russian River (maker of Pliny the Elder) and he said something like 9 days is when you get diminishing returns on dry hopping. No more than 12 days, but 9-12 is where you wanna bottle.
