Haha I can imagine the scene!

Hops received in the post today, many thanks. Now, what to do with them? Will 40g be enough for a 10litre extract?

Depends on what you play on doing with them/receipe

Didn't think Royal Snail delivered on BH mondays

Not a bank holiday up here am afraid.

Have got simco, citra, mosaic and tettnang so maybe an American style IPA? Perhaps the tettnang doesn't fit the style? Also got some saaz leaf hops (as always!) So maybe combine the with the Saaz and do a partial extract with a youngs lager kit I've got?

Anyway, seems like my head is all over the place, too much beer of late!!!!

Combine the tettnang with the saaz*

I'm not the best receipe creator but as you suggest either combine the Saaz and Tettnang with the lager kit or use the Tettnang (and/or saaz) as a bittering hop for the extract brew and use one or more of the others for aroma/flavour as they are US arome/flavour hops (I think)

Taster packs just dropped through my letter box. Can't wait to get some recipes planned. Thanks so much MyQul. Great idea. :thumb:

Fantastic just received mine. It reminds me of Christmas when i was a child. Cant wait to get brewing. I salute you :)

 

[ManseMasher]

Mine have just landed... thanks again mate!

 

[DanST]

Got mine too. Cheers!

 

[stevey]

Received mine today :-) Thanks MQ

 

[MyQul]

Great! Glad you all got your hops so quick.

I feel like Santa Hops!:lol:

 

[GlentoranMark]

Mant thanks MyQul, recieved mine today also. Even though I asked for a pick and mix, you sent me varieties that I've never used before so even happier. I'm going to put some into bottles of Grolsh and examine the flavours as I'm still unsure how a hop affects the taste of a beer.

I've sent you a PM.

I got the wee mylar bags from ebay. There the same as you get when you order from big companies except smaller and these ones are both zip lockable and heat sealable as I don't have a heat sealer

Another happy customer, hops arrived today. Thanks MQ! Great job.

 

[MyQul]

Everyone seems quite happy with there hops and the whole thing went pretty smoothly. I think I might do it again in a few months time

Can't believe I missed this thread. What a great idea.
It'd definitely be interested if you decide to do it again - subscribing now so I don't miss out next time.
