Hi forum.
I have a question relating to the hop bag varities in the miltons range of hops.
I have downloaded a fact sheet from www.countrybrewer.com.au concerning different hop varieties and what they bring to the beer (Taste, aroma and bittering)
Is there any hard an fast rules with the hop bags. My questions guys include:
1. should you heat the bag in boiling water or warm water or not at all?
2.Does leaving the hop bag in the beer batch contribute to a more bitter taste if the hop is prone to bittering
3.Should the bag be placed in the batch for a set number of days?
4. I know Hopping is a personal choice Im not sure what to use, Im not a fan of bitter beer but aroma is a big liking for me, what would be a good all round aroma hop to use in an ale and a lager....
Best wishes guys thanks so much for the help I have found on this forum.
