Speaking of fruit salad, I got watermelon as one of the fruit flavours going on, particularly as it warmed. What hop do you feel might be responsible for that one Fourstar??
Cheers for the Kudos BM70! Umm the hops usused where Simcoe, Cascade, Amarillo and Chinook with lots of late simcoe in there too. heres the Hop profile:
20.00 gm Simcoe [13.00%] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops 27.1 IBU
20.00 gm Cascade [5.50%] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops 11.5 IBU
20.00 gm Chinook [13.00%] (15 min) Hops 12.2 IBU
20.00 gm Amarillo [8.20%] (15 min) Hops 7.7 IBU
10.00 gm Cascade [5.50%] (5 min) Hops 1.0 IBU
10.00 gm Amarillo [8.20%] (0 min) Hops -
10.00 gm Chinook [13.00%] (0 min) Hops -
10.00 gm Simcoe [13.00%] (0 min) Hops -
5.00 gm Amarillo [8.20%] (Dry Hop 5 days) Hops -
5.00 gm Cascade [5.50%] (Dry Hop 5 days) Hops -
20.00 gm Simcoe [13.00%] (Dry Hop 5 days) Hops -
Unsure as to what was throwing the 'watermelon' Maybe the simcoe and Amarillo together? Slightly passiona?
You didn't use aussie cascade did you ? I just ask cos' i've tasted watermelon from that, plus you mentioned that it had an alpha of 7.8% which if I remember correctly is what the current batch of tas cascade was.
It may have been, ive noted it as 5.5% here. i think i used an old batch of cascade looking at the above because i added some dregs in the dry hop (that loose 5g) and the new cascade @7.8%AA may have been used in my cream ale with EKG.
If you or i can find that post of mine... prove me wrong!
