Well that was a revelation! The hopping rate as lb/quarter [weight] I had always assumed it was lb/quarter [volume]. Curious if that was a Young's peculiar practice.
I got to thinking about that. I think he got it wrong.
1.5 lbs per weight quarter is 18 lbs per volume quarter. Which is way too much. They were hopping PA at around 5 lbs per quarter, according to the 1990 brewing records. About 4 lbs per quarter at the start of the boil. I think he should have said 1.5 lbs per hundredweight.
