If ! pretty big IF. household sugars vary between 1.035 and 1.0375. Most ppl guesstimate 1036.

Great idea like a giant fine mesh sieve.! I'm on to it. Thanks.

Using a hop spider saves replacing bags etc. But some on here say they use a bag for the aroma stage, why is this?

Bet they didn't see that coming!

It's not a matter of comparing with a pub price, they are way off the scale anyway.

Slightly, but not as much as making a 'tea' of hops. Different hop have different results for the same time in the boil. you may vary between 5 mins after flame out or boil for 10,15, or 20 mins depending on the type of hop, the amount (gms) chosen, and the amount of flavour oils it possesses...

Yes, thats it, semi immitate the AG method, its done like that for a reason. Then, do a last edition for FLAVOUR alone with a seperate small 10 min boil in water with 50 to 100 gms of a choice hop pellets.

I gave up with plastic pressure barrels if that's what you mean, the 2 gallon ones are weaker at the bottom and go egg shaped under pressure and I don't over prime I can assure you. They are a devil to properly clean as 2" cap, and these new black caps have a tendency to split. The 5 gallon...

Allison's easy bake? Isn't that bread yeast? And we are told that full attenuation of your brew is not possible using bread yeast, how have you got on with it then?

Yes, thanks for that Pilgrim, I see you have Landlord neath your picky, how does that come about? I'm new too.

Hello Sozzled Sab, and everyone else interested in the hop side of our hobby. The answer to your question is really quite miriad because there are so many difference choices and preferences in beer for each individual. The breeding and crossbreeding of hops has gone on for many years now to...

Let us all know how you get on with it.

Pour it into a sterile 5 litre plastic container, and if you haven't got one, go to the supermarket and get a 5 litre water and throw out the water. Desperate measures and all that.

Excellent. and,of course we wait for the priming conditioning,so no rush. Cheers.

good point re the cash. I am not familiar with either of these hops,they are not on my extensive lists that I downloaded within the last 18 months. Are they new? Also, apart from sounding delicious, the high aau content of the blend sounds engulfing, I only go to 100gms with varieties that have...
