You would be better off posting this in the "Beer Brewing Discussions" forum. You will get a lot more answers there. :thumb:

Sorry I can't answer your question.

Happy new year to you too, although is it a little early :wha:

I'm certainly not a master brewer! Just you will get more answers in the correct section :thumb:

Has this been moved or was it always in beer brewing discussions? Am I going mad?

 

[dennisking]

I moved it

I was starting to wonder whether I had drunk more than I thought I had :lol:

Fuggle and/or goldings hops, I've got a bog standard bitter on the go now.

If you are just adding hops to a kit you should google 'hop tea' or buy a flavapak from a brew shop. You could even buy some hops and simply dry hop the bitter, this wont add any bitterness but will increase the aroma. With the kind of hops used in bitter it would be hard to over do it and even if you did it would mellow out.

Hope this helps
