I'm brewing up a hoppy summer lager for when it gets hot. 1/2 lb of Sterling hops. The kitchen smells wonderful!

Wow, interesting recipe. It's very hop-forward for any beer, and especially for a lager. Have you done one like this before? I'm very curious how it will taste. I'm imagining it will be hop bliss.BTW, based on the information I've picked up in the Tinseth vs. Rager thread, I'm guessing you must have used Tinseth for your IBU calcs. Apparently other formulas don't allow for any isomerization for the first 10 minutes a hop boils. This might be the perfect recipe to test the validity of that assumption.

It's basically like a CAP, but yanking the bittering hops while doubling up on the late additions, then giving it a little more maltyness. But no, I haven't done anything quite this crazy before.

I thought I had Rager set in ProMash, but I could be wrong.

A thing of beauty. https://www.brews-br...tyle_emoticons/default/headbang.gif I can't wait to hear how it turns out.

Dang Mike, that looks awesome!

I am thinking of something very similar but only have 6 oz of sterling left so can't do a straight up hopburst:

Awesome you posted this. Because for the last month Ive been wanting to brew up my version of Sterling Lager. Its actually a Bohemian is what I call it. Ive entered it and won with it it multiple times as a Bohemian. But the only guy Ive met so far that has pin pointed the Sterling's is Mtn. He says its not a Bohemian, but the judges sure like it. So who cares, right?Btw, its also hopbursted w/a90min addition. Yours looks super yummy and now Im jones'in!

on this subject Mtn is wrong ,well technically he may be correct, but the end result is what matters not the technicalities right.Hey Blktre, could I trouble you to send me your Glacier Pale recipe again, I never got it last year after I lost my promash files, and you musta been busy.

I was just contemplating such a beer last night while I was drinking a light (and rather tasteless) beer--how would this beer be if it was jammed full of tasty hops. I seem to remember Hop Wallop as a rather light colored/bodied IPA. I'm thinking an otherwise normal Continental Pils but then hot-rodded with Amarillo hops. . .
