I've never heard of Agnus hops. Can't wait to hear what you think of them.

Out of curiosity, did you add the noble hops at the end because Agnus doesn't have a very fine aroma by itself?

Well checked sg today, and had a crafty. Can't say agnus has a particularly great taste, a little sharp really.
Used the tett for that exact reason Seymour ...I thought the agnus was a bit catty, so I hoped tett would be better late on


I think agnus with its aa% will do fine as a bittering add, not expecting anything great flavour wise



Brew date 26th February

They're a relatively new breed from Czech. The Malt Miller has them on offer at the mo. Is that good or bad?

EDIT: Maybe not new, but "Lesser known"
