Hello,

Just cooling now, but I've used my own Challenger from the garden so am keen to see if this comes out good :wink: The hops were full of little yellow resin sacks even though they seemed to go everywhere as well :)

Here's the recipe I used:

20.00 gm Mt. Hood [6.00 %] (0 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep) Hops -

Just running off now. Hydro tasted sweet with a firm bitterness :)

Sounds like all went to plan. JHBs a lovely drop, yet another on my 'to brew' list #-o

I love JHB. My Boxshed Hop Jugger (BHJ) was brewed in March to have similar appeal to JHB (here and here), and has gone down very well, so I bet you'll be on to a winner with this one! From memory I think I went with US-05 though.

Surprisingly wheaty, nothing kickass about it, an easy drinking pale ordinary bitter. Balanced in an english sense.
