I hope you enjoy some of the features in BeerSmith 3.1 – if you want to learn more about dry hopping, check out my two part series here.

So now you can view a recipe from the calendar view (under Recipes->Calendar – and don’t forget to set the brew date for the recipe first), and it will also show when to add your dry hops. The extra fields for start of dry hop and phase of the dry hop will be shown so you can specify the starting point and duration.Ī lot of brewers also asked that dry hops be added to the calendar view, which has also been done. To use this feature, just add a new hop to your recipe and then select “Dry Hop” for the use field. This gives you a lot more flexibility to record your dry hop additions, and you can better specify double and triple dry hopped beers. So for example you can now specify a traditional dry hop that is 3 days before bottling, but you can also specify a dry hop 4 days into the primary fermentation. To support the newer utilization of dry hops, I added both a dry hop start time and start phase to the program. American and Australia/New Zealand hops high in Gerianol and Thiols can often develop tropical fruit flavor and aroma if used late in the primary. In addition, the push for “fruity” flavored IPAs and New England IPAs has driven many brewers to experiment with hopping in the primary fermentation as a method for promoting biotransformations. In addition, many IPAs are double or triple dry hopped which means they add more than one dry hop addition, often spaced across different stages of the fermentation and aging. With the Craft Beer IPA revolution, brewers started using dry hops in much larger quantities and often for shorter periods of time. About 10 years ago most dry hops were added at the end of fermentation and aging, usually shortly before bottling. While previous versions of BeerSmith have always supported dry hops, the program simply let you specify the dry hop time. Also the long contact time lets you infuse your beer with hop aroma over a period of days. Because it is done at low temperature, you don’t risk boiling off volatile aroma oils. BeerSmith 3.1 was released in mid-2020.ĭry hopping is one of the best ways to preserve aroma oils in your hops. Today I’m going to highlight some of the new dry hop features in BeerSmith 3.1.
