Re: Olicana Pale Ale
clarets,
Sounds good, Cheers!
Didn`t fancy dry hopping as well with some of the Olicana?
Did the fruity taste come though?

Re: Olicana Pale Ale
I did think of dry hopping - unfortunately after I had used them all
Fruity taste does come through, and these were 2019 harvest hops. I will definitely look out for more of these in the future.

I like 40/30/30 hop ratio. A favourite of mine with can cascade. Getting a bit carried away lately, since I bought a one man hop mountain of Ernest.

Re: Olicana Pale Ale
Interesting you got such a good 'fruit' impression given the 'citrousy' element of the oils supposedly evaporates at anything above 69C from what I've read. Think I'll give them a go when next ordering.

Re: Olicana Pale Ale
The '0 minutes' addition was after temperature had dropped to below 80C. Left there for 20 odd minutes then cooled with immersion cooler. However, I'd started this brew later than normal and ran out of time, so it wasn't actually drained into the fermentor until the next morning, so sitting at around 20C on all the hops for over 12 hours. Maybe that's the way to do it - I know Timothy Taylors are supposed to leave Landlord sitting on the hops for a few hours.

Re: Olicana Pale Ale
Hmm. Warm hop extraction. I have wondered before about a sub 60c hop hold for 3-4
Anyone got any thoughts / links?
