How did yours turn out Voosher?
Cheers Ross
You tell me!
A couple of bottles should soon be winging their way north.
Mine spent about a month in conditioning while I waited for the opportunity/motivation to bottle it (yes I know... kegs, kegs, kegs). It will probably get a public outing at the Grumpy's Stammtisch this Friday so I may or may not feel inclined to publish wider opinions.
My impressions on bottling are best summed up in one word... Tame.
It tasted smooth enough... perhaps too smooth which renders it close to the quaffing class. It seemed okay for my tastes but I doubt I'm quite the hop addict you are so I can understand you being underwhelmed with your results.
I still think mash hopping has its place for certain beers. I've mash-hopped a few styles. The fave so far was a porter where subtle hopping is not out of place.
I still have a stack of Amarillo so I may well try an all mash-hopped monster just to check it out.
Thanks for your contribution to the exercise.
Cheers.
