Eoi/sale - Heather Tips/flowers

[white.grant]

Looks like evildrakey got overlooked, I wouldn't mind if he gets a couple of hundred of mine if a couple of others can too so he can get some.

:icon_offtopic:

I usually have a keg of Scottish Ale going and it's my favorite, so when I saw that's what this is for, figured I'd order some and ask questions later. So anyone in the know want to give some guidelines for using this gear?

I am similarly ignorant, but my reading of mosher suggests you treat them as aroma hops, added late to the boil (or at the whirlpool) and as they have a delicate flavour a large amount is required.

 

[brettprevans]

You missed me! I'll take the last kilo please!

fk sorry. nfi how that happened.
logman and yob have given up 200g each. Ill give you 200g of mine as well unless someone with a bigger order doesnt want as much. we still have a few days until the order arrives and we can work it out.

agaion sorry

 

[bum]

evildrakey, I'll give up my order (200g) if the 400/600g won't cut it for you. Lemme know.

[Logman]

we were discussing it HERE if that helps Logman.. was a while ago but glad it's come up again, I rekon Im about good to have a decent crack at it now

Nice one. Maybe we can fire that thread up again when our orders arrive. Really looking forward to this, Scottish Ale has been my favorite style since going to AG :icon_drool2:

 

[brettprevans]

8:45am and missus advises me our precious heather has arrived! so I guess I know what Ill be doing tonight...

since no one has advised me that they want their heather broken up into anything other than their full amount (ie 1 bag), Ill be weighing and bagging your entire order into 1 bag. you can then break it up into any weight you want, when you get it.

once ive worked out what postage is likely to be, i'll post it up, along with final costs and i'll then PM payment details

all bagged and tagged. smaller order are in ziplock bags and larger orders are resealed the mylar? bags that the heather came in (as per pics below)

very interesting smell, its a combination of being plesent and not plesent. kind of like a hard lavender or how hops can smell atringent but still have nice floral notes. hard to describe. funny the description on the bag says "astringent, mild seditive". so just like hops!


ive measured up the bags and after all of the mucking round its cheaper just to use auspost prepaid satchels (no wonder CB etc just use the satchels).

so revised spreadsheet is attached
View attachment heather_order_spreadhseet.xls

Ill send a PM out shortly with details.
when you make a $ transfer please use your AHB nickname.
make sure you PM me your mailing address.

for those in melbourne, you can either pickup from my place in ringwood or I can bring to work and you can pickup from my workplace which is the top end of the city.

Arrived safe and sound just now. Interesting aroma. Looking forward to trying them out.

Pretty sure I didn't actually pay for express postage - you didn't have to do that. I'll sling you a bottle of something at the grain BB for that.

Cheers.

no worries. you deserve a break

the aroma is growing on me. and see what i mean but pleasant and not pleasant at the same time? cand wait to get it into a few beers.

 

[bum]

Yeah, floral vs a little damp or musty smelling to me - but not actually damp or musty or as awful as those words sound. Keen to see how they go.

 

[white.grant]

Mine has just arrived too. Thanks again Cm2, looking forward to brewing something with it next week.

Anyone have any recipe ideas they would like to share?

here or brew up any scotish ale and use it as a late 'hop' addition.

im personally thinking of doing a traditional froach (heatehr ale) an a scottish 80 with heather as a late addition. then 'dry hop' it if not enough flavour

Sounds straightforward enough. Looking forward to giving it a try.
