Super Aroma - Hop Shots

[tonymc]

Cheers. So-

Typical doasage 0.05-0.4 mL/L, but some US triple hopped IPAs might use up to 1ml/L.

Seeing as my recipe is an IPA I might as well use a full syringe of each - which is close enough to 1ml/L.

EDIT: and I'll just put the full dose into my bottling bucket.

Put the drop s in first then the beer on top. This will mix it really well.

 

[kaiserben]

Yep. That's the plan. In with the priming sugar.

So ... I'm finally, actually, about to use these Citralicious/Geronimo hop shots.

Can I use them as a complete substitute for dry hopping? Or should it be more of an added extra to regular dry hopping?

I tried them as a complete substitute a couple months back in a big IIPA. I think they took a while to meld in properly at first but after a week or so in the keg it really settled down to be a great drop.

I agree it takes a little bit to settle down, the herbal notes evident at a fresh addition seem to tone down after a while conditioning.

Ive not had the brewday to experiment, but I was going to do some trials in 10L cubes, franing from a %20 %35 and a %50 substitution against a normal recipe...

I still intend to do the experiment, as soon as I can get the time to bloody brew something..

 

[peekaboo_jones]

I hear you Jesse, time is bloody hard to grab lately.

I'm yet to try too. I'm a kitter so intending to try it with the new Thomas Coopers brew A IPA and Bootmaker.

Make batch as usual, bottle half straight from fermenter.
Then add maybe 1ml from Citralicious and 1ml from Victory to bottling bucket with bulk prime solution. Bottle and label.

 

[GrumpyPaul]

Might have to grab on of these soon - my mongrel keg could do with a bit of pimping.

 

[Yob]

swing by, Ive a few experimental ones you can have a sampler of

 

[GrumpyPaul]

swing by,

Might just do a bit of swinging tomoz night - will msg to see if you're home.

 

[eldertaco]

The six packs are an awesome deal! :beerbang:

Are these experimental ones planned for release in future?

 

[Yob]

Well.. Depends on how the experiments go I guess

 

[kaiserben]

Hey Yob, did you change the cap colours at any stage?
I've got black and orange, which I bought way back when you only had 3 varieties to choose from.

 

[Yob]

No mate, still correct

Black is outback, orange is Citralicious

 

[peteru]

I'm about to pull the trigger on a six pack, plus extra Geronimo and Citralicious. A few questions:

Shipping to Sydney is $10.55, which makes it a significant part of the total purchase price. Is that Express Post? How much more stuff can I add at that postage price?

Is there a verdict on how well this works in a keg? I noticed there were some reservations from few people. Initially I was thinking of adding to half an already carbonated keg of rye IPA. For the next batch it would be straight into the keg, then transfer from primary on top of the hop shots to ensure good mix at room temperature. I'll probably let it sit in keg at room temp for 5 or so days, which I hope will improve the solubility and blending. After that I'll chill and carbonate using a 0.5 micron stone and carb lid.

I'd like to get hopping profile similar to Green Flash Palate Wrecker or Moylan's Hopsickle IPA. Any suggestions as to what mix/quantities would work in a 19L keg?

 

[Yob]

Well it won't affect bittering so you'll need to accommodate that in other ways.

I've got a few 225 g packs I need to list if that helps?

 

[peteru]

I should be good for bittering, I still have about 1/2kg of Columbus sitting in the freezer, as well as 100g of Vic Secret.

 

[peteru]

Ordered. I just couldn't help myself and went for two six packs. What's the worst that can happen, right? I'll just turn up to pubs with a case of six syringes and stop whining about the crap beer selection they have. :drinks:

 

[Yob]

damn man.. that is some serious liquids...

I advise just that, the most fun Ive had with these things is in public...

Rad **** man.. well done, stories must be told

 

[Yob]

you think taking a dozen in my carry on luggage will be ok?

not suspicious at all right?

 

[peteru]

What are the regulations? No more than 100mL? Perhaps 10 would be more appropriate. Then again, I think "medication" is exempt from those rules and clearly if it comes in syringes it must be medication.

 

[stewy]

There is no limit on liquids for domestic flights. I often take several homebrews on business trips

 

[Yob]

thats not including the skeletons and bottles of RIS

most suspect trip ever....

 

[Dan Pratt]

Yob, what's the 6pack offer for the liquid hops? My stupid android phone cant view the website.

Dan

 

[Nullnvoid]

6 pack for $50 I believe. All the varieties.

 

[Yob]

What he said...

 

[Dan Pratt]

Ok good stuff.

 

[The hop cartel]

Just plug the Mosaic straight to my veins

 

[Yob]

Sounds like the right way to me..

Bit nervous today taking 15 syringes through security at the airport today..

Do you hand deliver interstate now? That's a pretty poor business model
