Looks nice :)

Almost done, just running it off into my FV.
Smells bloody lovely.

I don't mean to sound daft but what does adding hops at 0 mins actually mean? Anyone?

Hope it went well for you, mate! Now comes the hard part... waiting. :thumb:

It means that Sam has had a 90 minute boil and at the end of 90 minutes (i.e. 0 mins remaining) the hops go in, commonly known as "flame out" hops.

 

[sam.k]

90 mins is for bittering.
15 for flavour
0 for aroma.

Cheers chaps. So when do you remove these 0 minute hops? I'm doing BIAB (boiling my hops in a "sock").

 

[sam.k]

Leave them in to steep as you are cooling your wort,, they stay in until you drain your boiler.

Been using special B myself recently, good stuff.

I've not used it before but I'm looking forward to seeing how it impacts the flavor of the brew.
I've been making a lot of very hoppy brews recently so it's going to be nice to have something that's a bit different.

well I just vented a minikeg and poured myself a pint.

its fecking amazing, there is a faint fruity scent, taste is bitter sweet fading to dry on the tongue.

so tasty I am sure the keg will be lucky to last the weekend.
