What I Am Brewing With My Chinese Hops

[Bribie G]

Well there was a short lived thread on 'what am I planning to do', but now that the hops have arrived it's time for a new thread.

First off, on Monday I'm doing a XXX tribute using Cluster. Then I'll follow it up with a Saaz equivalent. If a few of us Brisbane Hop buyers can produce some brews over the holidays it will a great kick off to 2010 to take some samples along to BABBs January meeting.

500 Polenta
50g dark crystal in the XXX, none in the Saaz

66 degrees 90 mins

20g hop 90 mins
15g hop 20 mins

Only bought a kg of the Cascade, so a basic APA will be on the cards.

Thinking BB Ale with a splash of carared and aromatic then Cascade @ 60 / 15 / 5 / dry hop. If the flavour turns out ok I think I'll go for a 60 min dogfishhead style brew

Between kids bathtime, cooking the BBQ for dinner and cracking grain it was it a bit of a stretch but I'm on a mission tonight.

I'll be sitting by the pot with my jug of chinese cascade and my timer - oh yeah and my beer.

Will update when in the cube I reckon...

[MarkBastard]

I'm just gunna make some boring pale ales.

When my chinook is ready to be harvested I'll be using the chink cascade as a bittering and flavouring hop, with Chinook flavour and aroma and dry hop.

That's provided the straight cascade isn't feral.

Geez your hard-core PB.
(I just got pissed and watched Dr Who)

 

[Bribie G]

I've just polished off the last of the keg of XXX that you guys didn't drink and I've forgotten where I've put my hops :huh:

 

[NickB]

I got pissed and cooked a pizza... Oh, right, didn't make to to chappo's in body, but in spirit... h34r:

I'm gonna brew a crap-load of beers, and not worry too much about using "too many" hops. At worst, I'll be good for bittering hops for at least the next 12 years

Cheers

 

[bum]

I think I saw some hops in your car?

Yes that's another problem, I've forgotten where I parked. :huh:


Edit: ah now I remember, I parked on the wharf where the Chinese bound ships come in. She'll be right - I'll check if it's still there in the morning.

 

[b_thomas]

I think for me it will come down to whatever quality the hops arrive as. If they're terrible they're going in to a brown paper bag and being turned in to aged hops for my lambics.

Shouldn't be hard - there's only 1 "wharf" near Bribie manor.
Gee I'm glad I didn't drive home - I'm surprised you weren't knocked out by hop fumes. B)
On topic - The bloody Cascade was smelling great, maybe a IPA is due.
