Re: KRONENBOURG

Pale malt
Slight crystal
Hersbrucker hallertau
Near end of boil
Strisselspalt at end
Fermented for minimum 7 days @ 12oc
Top pressure at 0.15 bar which is nothing!
Protein stand at 52 oc for 30 mins then mash for 1 hour
Munich yeast would probably be best

Re: American hop rhizomes

I'm based in Northern Ireland but a couple of years ago I have a rhizome to my uncle in Manchester, last year he's cascade hops were like small bananas and so plentiful that when I visited in November he'd left half the harvest on the bines!
He must have picked the perfect spot for them to grow!?

Re: American hop rhizomes

Aye, I have been growing cascade for a number of years both outside and in a polytunnel and found in particular the outside grown ones don't fair as well but it's more in yield than flavour really with that variety!

Re: Mozaic hops

Had a mosaic pale on sat and it was lovely without any of the previous strange flavours so perhaps it wasn't the hop? Maybe over hopped?

Mozaic hops

But right at the back there is a flavour that is really disagreeable to my palate, I can only describe as onion and sweat as in B.O. It's really put me off! Is it t...

Re: Recreating Boddingtons

I cracked open the one I brewed based on g.w's recipe using the w labs London yeast! It was superb I put it in a pressure barrel and served it thru a beer engine( this helped make it more authentic) and captured the characteristic tight creamy head! Will be brewing this regularly I think! One thing ...
