Golden Hops

[markm]

Has anyone ever brewed and all grain brew using golden hops?
If so does it give a good result or impart a bad flavour.
I have a load around my patio and am wondering whether to harvest it.
Thanks

I've done this and it does work, but as you have no way of measuring the AA content of the hops, results can be a bit hit and miss. Golden hops tend to be a bit aroma less so you may want to put some other variety with them.

Have a look at this web link which is on my site and shows what I did using fresh hops ( and which I'm just drinking now )

www.ongsbeer.com - look on the front page under the September 06 link

I did think about the AA content and if it's a good summer or not will affect it but I'm curious as to any results. Do you have any websites that sell hop plants?
