Me either......Im also not 100% sold that there is a ton of difference between the two varieties either.I would think you would want Yakima Magnums for late, but I've never used German or US Magnums in this way...

My experience is that the 2 are indistinguishable.FWIW, my only Magnum dry hopping experience would lead me to believe that it isn't a great idea. But if SN does it, then what the hell....I would think you would want Yakima Magnums for late, but I've never used German or US Magnums in this way...

This is the quandary.....should i gamble 15-20g on it?FWIW, my only Magnum dry hopping experience would lead me to believe that it isn't a great idea. But if SN does it, then what the hell....

if the price of hops were going up i would say perhaps split the batch and see how it works out.but at the prices now ... go for it. Torpedo is a great beer. let me know how it turns out. I made a Citra hop American Wheat like Gumballhead using all Citra rather than all Amerillo. very Nice.This is the quandary.....should i gamble 15-20g on it?

Yeah. I was thinking about ditching the late Mags all together and just using the Citra. Personally i don't like firing up the rig to do less than 15g. 20-24g is preferred. Takes just a few minutes longer than a 10g batch.if the price of hops were going up i would say perhaps split the batch and see how it works out.but at the prices now ... go for it.

Well it was an APA brewed in February, nothing remarkable that I remember. 1oz at flameout but that was only about 10% of the grainbill.I've used Gr. Magnums for some late additions and I think some FO additions this year. I remember that it seemed like a waste of AA but they smelled great. I'll have to look at my notes tonight to see when I used them and how it turned out.
