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...

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...

So a house renovation and setting up a business and i've gone about two an a half years without brewing. Got all my equipment out of the cellar to clean and i've got several packs of unopened hops, and unopened bags of uncrushed grain. What do we reckon, 2 and half years later are they still...

Hi there, I've got something I want to try. I've brewed a few pale ales that have been pale malt to about 75-80% of the bill, then 15-20% of Vienna or Munich and 5% carapils. I've also done a couple that are about 75% pale then a combination of melanoidin, caramunich III (crystal 60ish) and...

Hi all! I've got a three day weekend ahead of me and want to brew my first beer, I'm a little stuck with a few things mainly being how much ingredients I need, to give some perspective I have a 21 litre stock pot for boiling, 25 litre mash tun and a 20 litre fermenting vessel. How much beer...

Hi all! A friend and I are new to brewing and are looking to brew the below recipe; a passionfruit golden ale. https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/435416/passionfruit-golden-ale It calls for significantly less than 100g of each type of hop, but everywhere I can find only...

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!

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

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?

Hi all, Due to my on going bar build I am short on space for storing my batch of hops (freezers got to go) . I have a quantity of 2017 us cascade t90 pellets that need a new home. I would be willing to vac pack into 100g bags and post for £4.00. If any one is interested send me a message or...

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...
