Howdy, so basically, I've got 450gm of oldish POR hop pellets, and about 100g of fresh green bullet flowers... Now I've never used any of these hops and want to use them... preferably before there too old. Anyone wanna take a crack at a decent beer recipe using only them? I'm thinking a single hop POR IIPA wouldn't be all that drinkable...so I need another idea from someone that has an idea when it comes to recipe formulation :D

Chuck the Pride in the bin, get some Tettnang and make yourself a German Pils with the GB. 100% Pils, mash at 65 to 1.048, 25-30 IBUs of GB at 60 then a crapload of Tetts from 20min onwards. You won't regret it.
 
[What on earth came over you to buy nearly half a kg of POR :huh: ]

(Compost) bin/bury your pride, and go GB all the way (including flavouring) - I reckon it's a pretty good hop on its own, quite strong tasting but full flavoured and reasonably fruity (sorry, my tasting notes are rubbish). I brewed a (very simple) extract lager some time ago with GB and, while not fantastic, the flavour was agreeable and worked well with the malt.

Good luck!
 
Many forum members sing the praise of fresh POR, but I have never seen any positive comments about stale POR.

Chuck them out.

...particularly pellets. I've only ever been happy / satisfied / not disappointed with POR flowers.
I find the pellets quite medicinal and harsh, even in small quantities.
I don't think POR pellets get too many rave reviews around here.
 
:rolleyes: yeah basically the comments I expected... I impulse bought em from here one night after a few to many homebrews, thought I might be able to do somethin with em... I've heard that I can at least use them for bittering up to about 20 IBUs worth before it get's bad? common peeps I know there are a few lurking POR fans here?

Reckon if you look for a JS IPA clone recipe you should be able to make something close. Above comments are on the money re POR being a little OT, but I like them used 30/70 with northern brewer for bittering.

Screwy
 
POR is fine for bittering up to 20 to 25 IBU's.

I have only used GB to bitter pale ales. I find the raisin like character to be suited to some belgian strong ales, but not in lagre amounts.
 
PoR fans recommend keeping the IBU's below 20-25. This is for fresh PoR only. Old PoR are no good for bittering. Chuck them.
 
How old is old? They were fresh when bought, but have been kept sealed in the freezer for a few months...
 
B)

Here is one to try .

1 can Coopers Sparkling Ale
500g Light Dry Malt
200g Crystal Malt
250g dextrose
300g Wheat Malt
15g Pride of Ringwood Hop Pellets
20g Sazz Hop Pellets for dry hopping
US 56 Yeast
Method:

Put 2ltrs water in boiler and add crushed crystal malt, bring slowly to the boil while stirring crystal malt now and again.
When nearly boiling take off heat and strain out crystal malt and sparge the grains with a little hot water until you have approx 5 to 6ltrs in your brew pot.
Put back on heat and bring to the boil and add POR pellets and boil for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes add LME, Dextrose, Wheat Malt, and Can of Coopers Sparkling Ale.
Boil another 5 minutes then strain into a fermenter ( I add ice to my fermenter to get temp down)
Add water to 20ltr mark and add yeast when temp is below 18C.

Ferment at 18c for 7 days and rack into clean fermenter and add sazz hops as for dry hopping.
Leave another 7 days and check SG. Its should be about 1010 or below.
Bottle or keg as usual.
Leave it for 4 weeks before tasting.

:rolleyes:

Cheers

Come on you POR bigots

I have many attempt at replicating Coopers Sparkling Ale only using POR and came up with many a strange and sometimes even drinkable brew.

I also have a really full-on Red Ale recipe that uses copious amounts of POR, and nobody spat it out ... well at least while I was watching anyway.

Here is the Red Ale recipe. Not sure that GB would go do well in it, but then again I've never tried GB before.

Red Ale (American Amber Ale - well sort of)

OG 1.062, FG 1.018

29L Batch

7kg Powels Ale
250 gm JW Chocolate
380 gm Bairds Dark Crystal
160 gm Bairds Light Crystal

32gm POW @ 60 min
25gm POW @ 15 min
25gm Cascade @ 15 min
30gm Amarillo @ 5 min

30gm Amarillo - dry hopped.

Protein rest @ 42C for 30 mins ( Powel's ale malt is not fully converted ).
Starchification rest @ 69C for 40 mins

Bulk primed with wort (1.4L)


On second thoughts, my hop addition advice is probably questionable ... I'm currently sipping on my latest "experiment" that used 110gms of Cascade in a 12L batch.
