This weekends brewing plan
Got to use up my old stocks of hops before the next lot turn up.
So i'm going to start using the hops in the mash and in the sparge water
dry hop during and after fermentation

Take it you like hoppy beers

Will you be bringing a sample to the next MCBA meeting Simon, or will it need longer to condition? Sounds tasty.

Bill ,probably a bit to soon for the beginning of March ,but I will get one to you when they're ready.

Looks good. But I would take the hops from the sparge water and put them at the end of the boil or dry hopped.

The pre boil hops give you probably something, but essentially they would be served better by a million % by being used for aroma.

A bit late now ,as i have already put them in.However they are in a hop sock which will go back in the boiler at flame out

Ahh well. Hope it works out for you. I am sure it will be a superb beer.

All done and dusted.Five gallons at 1.052
I wont put the first dry hops in until the main fermentation has died down a bit .
I think i don't have a enough head space in the fermenter and it would be a waste
of hops if they decide to climb out the bucket with the yeast head.
