There's always Charlie?
I was listening to Jamil's show on Imperial IPA's yesterday, and he said quite confidently that the higher alpha hops have more of the essential oils containing the aroma/flavour compounds. Not sure if he was blowing smoke, but I believed him at the time.
who can I look up too.
That looks awesome mate!!This week I brewed my first hopburst - it is now in the fermenter today with the yeast slurry from another brew - really looking forward to this one!

the flowers stole about a 500ml of my wort more than usual, so I was a tad short on the cube, but squeesed all the air out no probs. check out the hop ring on the side of the kettle!

so far so good...
(i'm a little worried as a few brews of mine have had an undesireable flavour that i cant pinpoint, but thats for another day)
Cheers
That looks awesome mate!!
OT a bit... but where on earth are you brewing there? from the photos it looks like you are brewing on the floor of a micro.
Yeah mate at the Woolshed ....
Lightning-hop additions are always done at flameout.with that hop bill how do you know what contributed to what flavour components
it would appear from reading that you blend all of the hop then weigh in 70 gram lots and add @ 5 min intervals
is this correct
