Hey Guys,
Well, since I am a dedicated No-Chiller and seem to have my Hopping schedule sorted out in relation to American Style/Late Hopped beers and do a fair bit of Dry Hopping straight into fermenter after 7-10 days.... I hadnt done any comparisons ATM in relation to Dry Hopping vs Hop Teas and the effects on the brews, so I had been thinking a bit lately at work with a few Morning Teas that we have been doing..... Anyhow,
For the Morning Teas/Weddings we use a drip filter machine for Coffee etc and I recall Fourstars experiment using his espresso machine to extract some hop espresso....
I was at our recycling centre today and picked up a Great Condition "Drip Coffee Maker" for $5 and thought this will/should be great for Hop Teas....
The Machine
The Filter, didnt use paper....
60grams of Hops
Brewing/Heating
Extraction done...
Hop Juice goodness..
I also put in the Hop matter that was leftover as im sure there is still more goodness in there, I have 2 brews the same fermenting ATM and one is Dry-hopped and the other has been done with this hop tea... So it will be interesting to see the difference....
