    Hops: 60, 30 Or Flavour/aroma Only.

    I've been doing a bit of tasting of some of my British style beers over this week and I'm reshaping my thoughts about British hops, and probably hops generally.

    Hops In The Mash

    I'm a bit of a partial mash newbie - about half a dozen or so - and I'm looking to try a few new simple techniques. I've heard that hops can be added to the mash. I understand it helps reduce the ph and imparts a different hop flavour and bitterness. Has anyone got any experience with this? What...
