Hmm, they all look yummy matey.

Apollo is an awesome hop, I picked some up in my last Malt Miller order

I plan to use them as a single hop AG of some kind.

Cheers

The FV1 brew is BLM!
FV2 and 3 are great, but FV1 is the best.







The Wilko Pilsner kits are great for playing about with. Bland on their own, but great with a couple of additions!
I had a bottle of Tiny Rebel `Cwtch` last week and thought it tasted just like FV1.
I phoned Tiny Rebel in Newport to see if I could come down for a `Taste Test`. Cheeky, but what the Hell!
Met Niall in Tiny Rebel, out came the `Cwtch` and a bottle of FV1 for a back to back taster.
Niall said `That`s a lovely clear beer, great colour, smells nice, tastes earthy, nice drink, I would buy this beer in any pub`.
I told Niall I used Amarillo and Apollo Hops, He said they used Citra!

FV4 has got 25gr Amarillo and 25gr Apollo at start of brew, 33.9gr Amarillo and 25.5gr Apollo Dry Hop. ABV 5.4%
Bottled 23/10/16 and is already tasting better than FV1.
I will be phoning Tiny Rebel for another `Taste Test` in a couple of weeks!

Don`t you just love HB!

They certainly look and sound like tasty brews matey

Also loving the fact that you called a local brewery and rocked up for a taste test with the brewer, nice work and I hope that you gave him some of your internationally renowned stickers!

One question for you though, if Tiny Rebel use Citra, why are you making another brew with Amarillo & Apollo for a taste test?

I agree about the whole homebrew hobby, from my experience I have found that whatever level you are at, fellow home brewers or small brewery owners are always happy to help and share ideas

MB,
I made the 4th brew with A & A before I knew that Tiny Rebel use Citra!
I will take some stickers next time. My bottle had one on and he liked it!

MB,
FV4 brew is BLM!
Just had a pint and it is so Hoppy, I am like Skippy the Bush Kangaroo!
Super clear, Very Hoppy smell and a very, very Hoppy Taste.
