    Pilot Hops?

    Anyone got experience with Pilot hops? I got some in an assorted/cheap hops order, they're 2017 UK hops but have been vacuum sealed and still look/smell OK. Aroma is quite noticeable Lemon/spice so I'm thinking of trying them in a Maris Otter SMASH with either a Belgian or Saison yeast, and...

    Summer Glory Kit - When to Hop?!

    Hi everyone, Am still quite new to home brewing but have learned that 3 weeks in the "bucket" often equates to a better tasting brew than if you stick to the 10-14 days the kits generally recommend. I'm brewing "summer glory" and the instructions say leave it to ferment in the bucket for 5...

    Mangrove Jacks Helles

    has anyone made this brew? I’ve got it in my FV at the moment, but am considering NOT adding the extra dry hops, as the few reviews I can find suggest it’s a bit too “hoppy”, I wondered if not adding the dry hops (Hallertau) might help? Cheers!

    Growing Hops-Downy Mildew?

    Hello all I have been growing hops for 4 years now and this year with all the rain I have had noticed more insects (although fewer aphids) and also I am seeing this happening to the leaves. I am thinking Downy Mildew. Any thoughts? CJ

    Underrated hops

    Hello everyone, I see many recipes for ipa's especially that require the big American C hops which tend to be rather more expensive than more obscure hops, my question is does anyone use less well known hops (and possibly cheaper) that get the same results?

    Last Minute Hop Option

    I’ve doing a St. Peter’s Ruby Red kit. It’s been in the FV for about 10 days and is still going. Late in the day I thought I’d add some Goldings, but it’s too late to dry hop and I’ve never done a hop tea. Is it as simple as steeping the hops in a muslin bag for an hour or so. I’ve brewed short...
