Well done Ross, I'll have to work on a De Ranke XX Bitter clone.

It is totally appropriate (according to Dane) to answer a direct query in any thread Sinkas asked if it was available & I told him.

I didn't notice him asking about Northern Brewer though - Bye the way... interesting that your European NB '06 stock is 9.9%. Ours is 6.6% with 9.9% being the previous seasons (05) stock. :unsure: You may want to double check.

Cheers Ross

Oops

Brewers gold is 5%

Sorry about that - posting between customers, have to be a bit more careful.

MHB, you may have made a freudian slip! Looks as if Northern Brewer is considered a substitute for Brewer's Gold - http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter5-3.html

Brewer Gold was also recommended by Bintani as a replacement for POR when supply dried up a few months ago, our current stock is 7.9% I think.

Funny but I don't miss the POR........

Cheers, Andrew.

Thanks for the tip TD, I was looking at a recipe that mentioned Brewer's Gold, I think I will use some Northern Brewer instead, plus I should only need to use 1/2 as much. That has made my day & got the week off to a flying start!
Thanks again
James

The European Brewers Gold arrived today. This is the hop used exclusively in Crouch Vales Brewers Gold :wub: , which won Champion Beer at the GBBF 2 years running '05/06. To say it compares with Northern Brewer in flavour, is way off the mark IMHO - but maybe that's the USA version, I don't know. As far as I'm aware, at this stage, we have the only current season crop available. "High Resin gives well balanced bitterness, fruity spicy character"

Brewing a Summer Ale 1st free day next week - Can't wait to try it.



Cheers Ross

Sounds really good Ross. I'm keen to try these hops, looks like I'll have to put another order in earlier than I'd planned B)

 

[Ross]

No Scotty, they are a "tall" variety. Been around since 1934.
Would appear they've generally been considered a bittering hop, but that was probably because the Europeans wern't too keen on the resinous American style hops. I'd never really heard much about them before Crouch Vale produced their excellent Ales using them. They smell beautiful - will be interesting to see how well they go...

Hi Ross
hows the brew coming along today? With 90 g of the brewers gold at 2 mins you should get a pretty good aroma hit.
Cheers
Stephen.

 

[Ross]

Dont ask :angry: $$%$$@%^@#$ It's been a brew day from hell!!!

First, split my head open on the tap, then had 2 bottles of gas run out & spent 45 mins getting refills mid boil. Then took the fermenter tap out to clean & forgot to replace it, resulting in 15L of my summer ale now in a lake around my brew rig.
Got a Roggenbier now running into the kettle - with my luck today, it'll probably end up being the sparge from hell...

Will brew 3 tomorrow to catch back up

cheers Ross

 

[Jye]

Ouch on the head

Its probably for the best losing that beer... it will give you a chance to move some of the Brewer's Gold to dry hopping instead of all at 2 min

What did the tap do to deserve the Liverpool Kiss?

Hi Ross
oh, bummer. Sorry to hear that Ross.

Eeek, good luck with the Roggenbier, mate. I thought things like that only happened to me .
Hope my bitter is trouble free this arvo.
