I made a beer using Saaz hops, to about 14ibu's a low hopped beer.
When tasting time came - No Hops, not bitter, not anything.
To try and fix this this I boiled 100g of Saaz hops in some beer for 20 minutes. Oh, I've been told don't boil hops in water it can pull out astringent vegetal compounds.
Anyway, I added the resulting liquid to two kegs. Still, I get just a mere hint hops. I am now under the impression to get anything out of these low alpha hops you have add to them by the bucket load to get anywhere.
Anyone know where I can buy these by the kilo at a cheap price?
