What Hop Is This?

[tangent]

Any chance of waterproof ink Ross?

How the hell am I going to work out what these are?

I think they might be Chinook..... but I'm not sure.

 

[Kai]

Now that's funny.

 

[fixa]

you can check back through your orders on the craftbrewer site, then by a process of elimination determine what it is??...

Hey Tangent,

they don't lool like chinhook to me but i'm sure if u do a brew with them u will know for sure!

could u just steep some in some boiling water and see what kind of flavour comes off?

btw i love your new logo!

 

[warrenlw63]

They sure smell like Chinook Tangent. :lol:

Edit: Warren wipes nose-print from monitor.

I'd go with american.. but after that.. i'd say its up to your nose..! get it in there.!

(atleast it's sealed .. hey Ross..!?!! )

 

[Ross]

Bugger!!!

They are done on a laser printer, so it shouldn't run h34r: Looks like the print has lifted off.
If you are in doubt what they are & don't want to use them - send me a pm & I'll send you a free packet of any hop you want.

cheers...

Ross

LOL, sorry, shouldn't laugh.

I keep a record of everything I buy and stock. When I loose a label(or forget to!), I just go through all of them and eliminate the knowns.

EDIT: oh ahhhh, Ross, I think I bought some off you too with the same problem... h34r:

I set myself up for that B) - Send them back unopened & I'll replace

Cheers Ross

 

[tangent]

you're too kind Ross, but I reckon if I check my stocks, i can work it out.
Thank Jeebus I just did an inventory!
Any Adelaide brewers reckon they could tell by the smell?

 

[Kai]

It could be narrowed down.

You could always throw them in the back window of your car and turn them into debittered hops for a lambic.

 

[tangent]

Lesson to self: 12C ferment means hops in freezer get very wet.

thanks Randyrob - my marketing people have spent ages on that one. After 6 months they've concluded: round is popular I think they drew inspiration from the Simpsons appearance on Happy Smile Super Challenge Family Wish Show.

Kai - you know I've tried Darren's excellent salad dressing. I don't think I'll be brewing any Lambics in the near future

Warren - don't be silly, you can't smell them through your monitor, I haven't opened the packet yet!

 

[Kai]

tangent,

Not to be mean but I think anyone can brew a better lambic than that. However I do sincerely believe that Darren is the best vinaigrette brewer in SA.

DAMN! ya called my bluff. ROFL

 

[tangent]

he's an artisan Kai
he should wear a hat with a little tag stuck to it that says Acetic Acid Artisan in tiny letters

 

[Darren]

Hahaha kai and Tangent,

You guys couldn't make it if you tried

If I remember correctly, Kai drank all his (albeit blended with Wee Stu's ginger beer).

Funny enough about the vinegarette, I put it into a vinegar bottle (looks something like a tall, clear, Grolsch bottle. In particular the "flip-top-lid"

I pulled it out of the cupboard on the weekend. The "vinegar" had completely dissolved the red rubber sealing ring.

I think I may have tried a little too hard to make this one sour

cheers

Darren


PS: On the hops, do the size of the pellets give you a clue as to what they are? They look small in the pic. Ross, are all the pellets that small?

I think they might be Chinook..... but I'm not sure.

I would place it on a print of hop flowers then frame it sell it as brewing art.
