Evening all,
First time brewer here and I’ve ordered the German Blonde single gallon kit from NB. Everything looks good except I seem to have twice as many hops (two packages marked 3.5 oz) than what is mentioned in the directions.
Is this second package placed in there on purpose (do I brew both?) or should I just consider it an “oops?”
On the instructions they call for 3.5 grams of Perle hops. 3.5 oz is alot for 1 gal., 7 oz. :shock:
If you did get 7 oz. of hops, you might want to use a scale to measure out 3.5 grams.
Welcome to the forum. :cheers:
Thank you, MRV, for getting back to me.
I do have a scale and measured out exactly 3.5 oz. to be used.
Are you measuring oz. or grams?
grams, grams! Oops! I did actually measure out grams. 
What was confusing is that it says:
“- A. Add the dry malt extract powder (1 lb. Pilsen)
and the first hop addition (3.5 grams German
Perle) at the beginning of the boil;”
I’ve bolded the confusing part.
Currently boiling the wort right now and about to sanitize my ferm bucket and accessories.
I know you have already brewed, but I don’t see anything that calls for a second addition.
A blonde ale is pretty mild as far as hops go. :cheers:
