Nelson's Perle

[Garth]

I thought I'd post this as it has turned out really well, and it's a bit of a hophead brew.

I went to my Five Brewer Ale to add two teaballs to dry hop with Simcoe and Amarillo, on opening the lid I found there was about a pint left....where did that go then?... ? Not much point dumping them in there.

Anyway, not wanting to waste the hops in the teaballs and I had three cornies full of the Nelson, so I dumped them in one of the cornies leaving the other two unadulterated. The verdict? the dry hopped ones have loads more aroma, taste better and are a lot smoother. I've also bottled 20 from each to have a proper Pepsi Challenge when they're ready.

Looks very tasty Garth, that's definately on the to do list. The results of the dry hopping are of no suprise to me. I've been doing that for years with mine basically because I'm a tight git
