Re: Hook and Norton - Haymaker

So you're a pro brewer now Seymour? Yes sir, and loving every minute of it! And, as you can imagine, is the main reason I have so much less time on the forums.

Re: INTRODUCING: Seymour Citra Dark

It's awesome I'm drinking some of it at the moment! It was served too cold at the competition though, foob4r can tell you more as he was there. Cracking beer Seymour even my mum is drinking it as the moment and she doesn't really drink and certainly not beer. So glad to hear you're enjoying it. Che...

Acis is cheap compared to malt. The 4th and 5th editions of Roger Protz's Real Ale Almanac and Les Howarth's The...

Still recognizably English in character, but BIG like New World hops. I highly recommend Pilgrim f...

Re: Deebee's Imperial IPA is the bomb, no joke.

That is one hell of a mouth watering review! I feel like cracking open a fruit bomb IPA and it's only 10.46am. Ha, yeah! It's only 6:49 am here, and I'd drink another if I could! :) I plan to do another of these Seymour. Shall i bung a couple your way? You should try drinking this one a little youn...

You can use any hop you like. It would no doubt taste great with cascade
Sorry for the delay. I agree, yes. This is a very adaptable recipe, a good starting point for pretty much any hop trial.

Sounds fantastic, I'm sure I would prefer it to US version, which has become one-dimensional and samey.

Aha, I spy a male hop! Wild English variant, I presume? Are you going to attempt cross-pollinating with your brewing varieties?

My male is going crazy right now too:

Re: Hop Growing 2016

Exactly. I use store-bought organic tomato fertilizer with great results. The middle number "P" should be higher than the other two in order to promote flowering.
