Hibiscus Ale

[jyo]

Do you use only dried Hibiscus?

I have about 10 hibby bushes around the house and I'm sure I can gather a shitton of flowers, reckon they'll be any good?

It sounds interesting and I'm keen to give it a whack...

Hey, Shred. AFAIK they need to be Hibiscus Sabdariffa like these: HERE Don't poison yourself!!

After trying a hibiscus blonde in the 2010 case swap I have had one of these on the to do list....

How about Fifi la Rose (not to be confused with Fee Fee la Rose)?

Pinking in the Red.

perhaps a french name:

deux en le rose, une en l'odeur

:lol:
I was thinking the same thing but couldn't work out a way to say it that didn't sound crude.
Think you cracked it!

I had "The Salmon Hunter" in mind

Oh and a correction........... i said i used a kilo of Hibiscus...... i neglected to add the work "Half" in front of that.

500g in 34L people, FYI

cheers

4 days in the garage in 27 deg heat with the farmhouse ale........ its down to 1.010 and still a couple points go get yet i recon. Will leavit it till next week and test again to be sure.

Smells like pot puri and citrus zest!

Tastes awsome

Pink pint, pink passion, hipinkus (play on hibiscus and pink).

I brewed a Hibiscus Blonde with turned out very nicely. What BJCP category would you enter this in??

"9.2 Spice, Herb, Vegetable" or "9.7 Other"
