First wort hopping experiments

My First Wort Hopping experiments If you ar following the FWH thread you see I have doen some experiments in this system, It highly interest me as I do like hops, but I do not like hash hops. I am not a scientist, I do not even know how to measure how harsh hops can be except blind testing. So I am ...

Re: Hallertau Family of hops

Re: All the best for 2016.

Re: All the best for 2016.

It is being marketed by YCH hops. they tout that there is no loss while dry hopping using the ...

This is a complicated scenario. Yes there will be a large total BTU load to cool it, how that load is spread out (how lon...

Re: Late Wort Hopping

Scott I totally agree about the need for side by side brews and testing I think this is a subject that does makes sense to a lot of people but has no scientific study behind it. I would love to try it on system we could make batches in one mash so we could have 3 different hopping methods going. I w...
