Knock out hops are added when knocking out to the fermenter. Dip hops are added to the fermenter on brew day with a liter or so of warm wort.
So, technically they are dip hops, just 2 days into fermentation instead of day one. I felt it was kind of a gray line as they are on the actual day one.
More beer has a buy one kit and get the 2nd 1/2 off. They select the kits. I’ve purchased this 10 times and all the kits are good.
I have been very pleased and was extremely impressed that they really work hard to get you the right hops with the IBUs taken into consideration when choosing something like 1 oz of Cascade at 5 vs 7% alpha. That takes a lot more effort than a lot of homebrew shops would ever want to deal with. Very Impressed.
Biotransformation is the term you're looking for. Adding hops during active fermentation will let the yeast pull off thiol groups (and other compounds) from the hops and add additional tropical fruit notes and added complexity
Can you break down how much cheaper it is to buy the kit? I don’t think it usually is cheaper
That would take a bit, but if you are buying something like a basic lager or basic ale, it is usually cheaper to buy the ingredients, but when you get into really hoppy beers that are clones of specific beers, the kits are usually a better deal. Find a beer recipe you really like (or think you would like), like this one, and then price out all of the ingredients. You will find the hops start adding up REALLY fast and suddenly the kit is a better value, unless you buy the hops in larger bulk like 8 oz or better and you know you will actually use them in other beers then you could consider that.
Here is an example:
Hopnosis Cold IPA All Grain Kit - $55.24 (at this very moment)
Assuming you buy in the smallest amount (1 lb or more)
The Grain on MoreBeer = $30.14
Hops (with only .5 oz extra plus Simcoe is crazy cheap and Mosaic Cryo is also cheap right now) = $31.10
Total = $61.24 (plus that didn't include the whriifloc tablet or having the grains crushed which would be extra if you didn't have a grain mill and either some Irish Moss or a Whirlfloc tablet.)
The yeast is extra either way.
Not a bit difference, but sometimes if it is a hoppy beer with lots of specialty hops the kit can be a better deal. Also keep in mind that MoreBeer! does a lot of big sales on the kits which can make them a better value. (I used to buy certain kits every year from a certain reseller as they would be stupid cheap and I loved them. One was a Rye Pale Ale and the other was a Rye Black IPA.)
12 pounds max that’s not a lot most all in ones hold up to 16 pounds of grains
I think they are trying to under promise and over deliver as I feel I could easily get around 15 lbs, maybe even 16 without rice hulls as they take up a lot of space.
