What I Am Brewing With My Chinese Hops

[clarkey7]

Italian spiral Burner wasn't working properly and acting wierd......A bit scary.

I lifted the pot off to begin pouring wort into urn to do the boil, when I noticed wasps or something have filled half the holes with mud...

Bastards.

Going again now, but It'll be a much later night than expected.

[Bribie G]

Wasps do not fill my urn, little grashopper

 

[Barley Belly]

Wasps do not fill my urn, little grashopper

You'd be F#$%ed if they did

 

[clarkey7]

All done and cleaned up. Phew.

Sorry no photos of the beautiful hop cone in the kettle as someone flogged off with the camera.

Will be a 7% IPA hopped every minute with Chinese Cascade, No chill and pitch tomorrow, drinking by next week.

Nothing wrong with the Cascade hops - they smell awesome :icon_drool2:

Can someone please post an all-cascade recipe or two? IPA would be good or just an APA.

Looks good winkle, I only ordered the Cascade but I'll be doing something very similar (maybe a splash of caraaroma because I can never resist). I'll probably knock over a basic batch at around 4% without too much bitterness for an easy drinking ale on xmas day (for the family) as well as a feral IPA that will see 1/4 of my hops go in one session (something I can enjoy on xmas day!).

Hey guys,

this is what im planning on putting down when my hops arrive, can anyone make any suggestions??

Needs more hops

Bugger it, can't restrain my hop use when I have this much! Decided to go for a middle of the road brew, only 30IBU's but it should be perfect for showing the true hop flavour.

Now sitting in its cube, how did I end up with some much hop dust?
Yeast will be going on this as soon as my bitter comes out of the fermentation fridge.

 

[Bribie G]

Hop dust, but cheap hop dust.

Actually Winkle you are a credit to the fellowship - you were in the weighing section and could easily have selected for yourself the prime pickings out of your sack of MP you were working on. Although as you know we minimised dust allocation by pouring the dregs of one sack over the hops in the next opened sack to even out the dust problem, you chose to take what was issued when your own order came up.

Greater love hath no man than this, that he gives up his hops for some dust.

 

[winkle]

Next up will probably be this one.

Haven't put it up yet on the database but here goes:

Warning: Sugaz B) Warning: ABV :mellow:

23 L batch

4000 BB Galaxy
500 Polenta
80 Dark Crystal

64 degrees 90 mins

30 Cluster 90 mins

750 dex into fermenter (pitchforks, torches yeah)

S-189 dried Swiss Lager yeast 16 degrees

Lager for 10 days

I made it under time-pressure for a party and it's the best true lager I've made. Actually I was drinking it up to 20 minutes ago then the keg said no

Edit: thanks for the kind words Brad, but I tell you what, on hop packing day I arrived at Chappo Manor with a hangover you could photograph - following the 21st the night before - and when he put my keg on I was hurting for a beer and the sucker hit the spot right on :icon_drool2:
