A musing upon how to apply the "Golden Ratio" to Hop additions

[Silver_Is_Money]

I've abandoned all effort at attempting to apply the Golden Ratio to the timing of hop additions. I now only see the potential for benefit in applying the ratio to the determination of the IBU's to be targeted for each addition.

@Silver_Is_Money What about a semi continuous hop addition with the last addition being 1 min then 1.618 min, 2.618 min, 4.235 min, ... up...? Or dividing 60min by 1.618 to get addition times...

I'm much too lazy for that.

Notice how I didn't fully work it out. Lol

But it could be automated, of course...

Have a little auger feed thing like the one in my pellet smoker.

Would there be a market for such a device? $45 and programmable? Sits over the boil kettle and drops pre-measured hops at programmable intervals.

A fish feeder perhaps?

That's pretty damn clever
