Just running off the first beer in a while.

Forty litres of APA.
Pale + Vienna + Wheat + Crystal to 1.047 and Simcoe and Motueka to around 30IBU. Keeping it pretty low on the late hops for a party of Corona drinkers.
Had a mate around to see the whole process. May have converted another to the dark side!

**** man! Go hard or go home!

 

[brewtas]

It was 20L into the fermenter. my urn was 60% full of hops after transfer! HPA gave Hobart Brewers a 20kg box of fresh picked hops so I had to make sure they didn't go to waste. :beerbang:

Wet hops are worth 1/5 of dry hops at best. I saw in For the Love of Hops that it might be as low as 1/7 or 1/8 though so I guess I added the equivalent of between 280-450g of dry flowers.

 

[Not For Horses]

Holy snapping duckshit that's a lot of galaxy!
It'll be worth the drive down south just to try one!

 

[brewtas]

You're always welcome here mate. It used the last of my Crackerjack so I'll have to get a re-up of that sometime too.

 

[Not For Horses]

I'm sure I can hook you up with a bit if that. I should have some Munich for you to try by then too...

Back on topic though, should be brewing a pale ale/esb tomorrow with some wild hops I picked a couple weeks ago. Not sure of the variety but my guess from the smell is a golding of some kind.

90% ale malt
5% Crackerjack
3% Crystal wheat
2% extra dark crystal wheat
Ella at 60min to 25IBU
Wild hops at 10 and flameout.

wild hops?

 

[Not For Horses]

wild hops?

Well kind of. Growing on a fence down by the river in the town I went to school in. Asked the property owner about them and he knew they were hops but that was it. Said he'd try killing them for years but they just keep coming back. The previous owner was a keen gardener and liked the look of the flowers.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

Tasmanians hey. They live in a magical land of amazing food, beer, wine & scotch, pristine forests and untouched beaches, and hops grow wild in the neighbourhood. No wonder they don't have jobs! (That's a compliment btw)

 

[Not For Horses]

Yeah it's pretty awesome if you like to eat and drink! Commercial hops grown 50min drive away, barley about 45min. The orchard I get my cider apples from is 20min drive. Closest vineyard is probably 15 minutes.
