Hey NM. Opened a pack of Columbus pellets myself today... Geez they'z stinky buggers. Reminded me of Gum Trees. :blink:

Interesting stuff. :beerbang:

Warren -

i dunno i think columbus smells more like oranges growing on pinetrees personally. great aroma considering the AA level.

Columbus has quickly become my favourite hop over here. It's good to see Craftbrewer is stocking it now, I was worried about how I was going to get it when back in Aus.

There's an IPA I've been drinking a bit, Anderson Valley IPA, which is built around Columbus, and is Bahl Hornin' (Bootling for good drinking).

Didn't really notice the gum trees though (but then again, I'm sniffing flowers, not pellets).

edit for wazza

 

[warrenlw63]

Sorry guys should have been more specific. The raw pellets smelled like gum trees. I'm picking the finished beer will translate to something entirely different. If it doesn't I'll feed it to some Koalas. :lol:

[fixa]

Going to have my first brew day in ages tommorow. Brewing an All munich APA, then a porter. need to get the stocks back up as i've been busy. Been a little dissapointed with the experiments i've done lately, getting back to beers i know i love.

 

[Ross]

I believe LCPA is finished with Chinook & Cascade....Kai??

Cheers Ross

Well the link to Grumpy's forum suggests I was right, unless we were given a bum steer
BTW, this is where I got my original info from...

"Name: Little Creatures Brewery
Date: 27-08-04 10:34

We use cascades and goldings in the kettle and whole hop flowers (which is the hard part), in our hopback. IBU is 35ish. Quantities and the rest are under lock and key. Have fun,. "

"Name: Little Creatures Brewery
Date: 30-08-04 10:59

No chinook in the boil, only in whole hop flower form in the hop back. Cascade whole hop flowers along with it. You wont find either of the strains that we use here in Australia as we bring them in specifically for our own use. They do come from Portland Oregan and they are vacume sealed and stay in a customs controlled quarantine on site in the brewery. Even if anyone could get somone to send them some from ther US customs would be right on to it. Even after we have used them the go into special bins and customs comes and takes them away for disposal."

Edit: The extract was taken from Beers link - I tried to find it & failed - Good work Beers...

Cheers Ross

Yes.

Considering some people that work there try to make out like it some really big secret and will not talk about it.

 

[Duff]

No chinook in the boil, only in whole hop flower form in the hop back. Cascade whole hop flowers along with it.

What proportions would you guess? 50/50? 75 Cascade/25 Chinook?

Hi Duff,

Not having tried to replicate it yet, I've not really got any experience to draw from. But as a pure dry hop, I reckon 50/50 wouldn't be a bad place to start. I'd be bittering with EKG, cascade late, & then dry hopping with the 50/50 combo....On my to do list.

cheers Ross
