I can't wait to try this. The best beer I ever brewed was based on the HBT Heady Topper clone thread. This sounds like a real treat.

Kal- question for you on brewing salt additions. EZ Calc specifies separate mash and sparge additions. How do you handle this when fly sparging? What's your protocol?

I use ez water calculator as well - it'll tell you how much to add to the mash and how much to add to the boil (that's what I do). Good luck!

Thanks John! I have to say I did enjoy the research. I find it's a fun part of brewing for me.

If anyone has any comments or corrections let me know too!

Good stuff, Kal! Great article, thanks for the time and research!

I see you have Whirlfloc in the recipe - can you comment on its role for this style? I think some people really enjoy the hazy appearance, though I fully get the debate on this subject. I personally like the OJ appearance with the juicy taste. I don't know if Whirlfloc would even make of a difference in the appearance given the polyphenols from the hops. I left it out of my recent recipe. It's cheap and likely wouldn't matter, but just curious on your thoughts there.

kal, how much Cl and SO4 is needed to achieve a ratio of 200:100 ppm per 1 gallon of RO water?

Not sure! I would recommend using EZWaterCalculator (it's free) to figure that out. Good luck!

I leave out gelatin before packaging but use whirlfloc in the kettle. I figured you want to leave behind kettle trub and get clear wort into the fermentor. I don't want all the extra hop oils I'm adding later via dry hopping to fall out / stick to the trub that's going to get left behind.

Kal, this looks great, been wanting to try heady topper but impossible to find out here on the west coast. My question is why use an immersion chiller to bring the post boil wort down to 180 instead of your counterflow and recirculating? Are you just concerned about hot side aeration?

No - I use a Hop Stopper which isn't meant for recirculating setups. It does such a good job at keeping break material out of the fermenter that it'll clog if you try and recirculate continuously. It's meant for 1-pass use. So I use a cheap immersion chiller to bring the wort temp down from 212 to 180F in about 2-3 mins, then do the hop stand, then use the counterflow/Hop Stopper into the fermenter.

Lots of different ways to skin this cat we call beer... Wink

Oh, completely forgot about the hop blocker. Makes perfect sense.

Yup, though that said, chilling / recirculating through it for only a couple of minutes would probably be fine. I just didn't want to take any chances.

I've been doing a ton of experimentation with NE IPA. I don't really know if the murkiness is critical, maybe not. I've made what I would consider to be good examples with nothing but 2-row and crystal 15L. I usually do no kettle hops and a HUGE dry hop, 2 oz/gal, but I just tried a WC IPA that had a 20-minute addition of CTZ and then 2 oz/gal of Simcoe-Centennial-Chinook that is super smooth round and amazing. I think there is a lot of room for experimentation here! If you want the murk, maybe leave out the kettle finings and use a super huge dry hop. I think you will be satisfied....

Kal - Judging by the pics, I guess you add the dry hops naked in the fermenter - you don't use a hops screen canister or something similar?
