Hello everyone,
I have a question about using a hop back.
I'm currently brewing on a 50 bbl Newlands system that has a hop back already installed. It's never been used in eight years of operation and yesterday, I spent the afternoon cleaning it and dreaming of infusing our pale ale with a glorious hop aroma.
However, in poking around the web, I've only found scattered references to potential hop rates in a hop back (anywhere from 10 lbs to 50 lbs/bbl).
Does anyone have any experience using one? And if so, any guidance or good references would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Nate
