ended up going with 1272 instead.. smelled awesome out of the cube!!!
 
I'm in the middle of the 'dextrinization' rest of a Hochkurz mash for this flanders red recipe. This will be my first real long-term aging project:

1.20 kg Vienna Malt (Weyermann) (3.0 SRM) Grain 34.48 %
1.09 kg Pilsner (Weyermann) (1.7 SRM) Grain 31.44 %
0.70 kg Munich I (Weyermann) (7.1 SRM) Grain 20.28 %
0.12 kg Aromatic Malt (26.0 SRM) Grain 3.45 %
0.12 kg Caramunich I (Weyermann) (51.0 SRM) Grain 3.45 %
0.12 kg Special B (Dingemans) (147.5 SRM) Grain 3.45 %
0.12 kg Wheat Malt, Malt Craft (Joe White) (1.8 SRM) Grain 3.45 %
1 Pkgs Roselare Belgian Blend (Wyeast Labs #3763) [Starter 125 ml] Yeast-Ale
1 Pkgs SafAle American Ale (US56) (DCL Yeast #S-05) Yeast-Ale

The recipe I'm trying is Nick R's - cheers mate. Right now I'd better rush down to the health food shop where I remember seeing some very old, flavourless looking hops a while ago.

Bummer, no more crusty hops. My next best options are fresh saaz pellets or older willamette flowers. I was aiming to boil for 90mins (of 120min boil) to get around 14-15ibu. Opinions welcome!

have heard you can chuck you hops in the oven for a bit to debitter them, but just did a search on google and nothing like that came up at all...

i'd go the willamette flowers...if you are aging it for sometime, I reckon you could get away with 15 ibu's worth.

Thanks, I'll use them. Beersmith says they've aged down to 3.33% a.a. anyway despite being in freezer. Cheers.
