I was on at 7am this morning to get a 55L was in stock then. went back in at about 12 and all out of stock. Must have got one of the last ones

In it to win it

He's not a brewer, he's a tinkerer/hoarder/collector

I have a mate who's got a fancy crimp style canning machine - works like a reverse can opener. He's offered for me to use it an this will come in really handy for a 40L batch I'm doing for an outdoor event (kegging not an option as each person has to carry their own beer a considerable distance)...

In need of citra and simcoe 1kg each. Any left yob?

Put the drop s in first then the beer on top. This will mix it really well.

actually I take that back, I just read this from the above link... "Regardless if the beer is intended to be kegged, bottled or filled into casks, the optimum way of dosing HopBurst products is inline dosing into the beer stream on transfer to the bright beer tank or racking vessel." I was...

I bought all of them and they just don't work in a keg. I put 6ml nelson sauvin and 4 ml citra into a 19l keg, and poof - no aroma. They're best used straight into the bottom of a serving glass - magical.

Well, the co2 could be taking it out. So this leads me to asking the question of when's the best time to apply? Should it be in the secondary to give it time to infuse just like a dry hop? if I apply to a carbed keg, or a still keg then carb then do I run the risk of letting the Co2 scrub all...

I wish it was but I get the right aroma from 8 drops in a glass but this is a PITA doing it for every glass. Still at a loss really.

Help! What am I doing wrong here? I added a total of around 13ml of citra, sincoe and mosaic to a 19l keg over the space of a week and I am getting nothing like the aroma of the shots you can smell when you unscrew the cap. Here's the steps I took. After primary fermentation I added 2ml...

I tried simcoe, citra and mosaic in a Thooeys Darling Pale ale (left by father in law over christmas) this beer is an insult to pale ale and possibly the blandest of the so-called big brewery 'gateway beers' 5 drops of each totalling 15 drops is what it took to bring it into APA territory - the...

Josh, there's no flavour with these hop shoots just aroma. These hop shots basically make dry hopping obsolete. So yes, you could potentially add it to buttered only beer and be economical - once we work out the right dosage.

so if 8 drops per 330ml glass is the desired taste/dosage, then... 19L Keg / 0.330L glass = 57 glasses 57 glasses * 8 drops = 456 drops for the keg if 20 drops = 1ML of hop extract then ... 456 drops / 20 drops = 22ML needed to get the same effect as 8 drops in a glass, in the whole keg...

How many drops in 1ml ? are drop sizes in the syringe the same as a drop size from the dispensing cap?
