Fuggles and Bramling X...

[jonewer]

Hi All,

Am looking for some suggestions regarding my forthcoming brew which will be roughly 5kg pale malt, 300g crystal, 50g chocolate malt.

Have decided to go with a fuggles and bramling x hop schedule but am not familiar with either or these so am looking for suggestions as to what I should add.

I'm thinking of something roughly along the lines of

50g fuggles 90mins
30g bramling 20mins

?

Personally I would go for
20grms of fuggles 90min,
30grms fuggles 15min,
15grms bramling 15min
15grms bramling 5 min

It will give you a more rounded bitterness and far more hop flavor, my beers have improved no end since I started late hopping

Thanks, might up the 90min fuggle count a tad, I like 'em bitter!

I can also second the late hopping - my ales too are much better in terms of hop flavour and aroma since leaving 80% of them until the last 20 mins or so.
