At the Queensland Home Brewing Conference, PUBS were kindly given a 200g pack of Experimental Japanese variety hop flowers by Hop Products Australia. Grown in Victoria, they are 12% AA.
PUBS members at the conference had a quick brainstorm and reckon the way to go is:
Use some to make a single malt Asian style lager and mature it over the Xmas break to fill a club keg for the first meeting of year.
Split up the rest and offer as raffle prizes at the November meeting (last meeting of year) for those interested in trying.
I ran a simple recipe through Beersmith and 15g for 60mins with 10g for 10 mins would give a good 30 IBU with a good indication of the flavour and aroma of Variety EXP002
So 25g should be heaps in the sort of beer you would be looking at making - I suggest a strongish all malt lager fermented on a true Lager Yeast (Lyall may have some samples?) otherwise I have Wyeast Danish. I'm more than willing to do the brew at my place and have a club Mash Day here.
So 25g for the club brew
7 packs which I'll keep in freezer and we can raffle them off, if there is any interest.
I'll email on the Google group as well.
:beer:
PS also scored half a k of Victory Malt as well, we can use that in the future in an IPA?
