Hello brew brothers and sisters,
Well I bought a 25g pack of Amarillo hops and want to try them in my next kit based brew. Ingredients are as follows
1 x 1.7kg tin of kit Ale
1 packet us05 yeast 11g
1kg of brew enhancer 2
500g of LDME
Amarillo hops
I spoke to the guy in the shop and he mentioned a few ways of using them. I think the method I'm going to use is to simmer the hops in with the kit tin, fermentable powders and 2 litres of water for about 5 minutes. He told me that in doing that I should both bitterness and aromas into the brew. Also I'm just going to chuck them in as is without bagging them as he told me that they should all settle at the bottom of the fermenter and it should be a problem in terms of getting hop chunks into the finished product.
My question is do I use the whole 25g when I do this?
