I agree :thumb: Great bittering hop but unless they're really, really fresh they're not the best for late aroma...anthonyUK said:
When I use them as a single hop it'd be for a dark & bitter northern type ale @ around 45-50 IBU's

Im young in my brew days but so far i only use challenger*. I drop equal measures (relative to volume) at t-20 and t-10.
* when i started, the shop guy told me it was the best all rounder. Was he right or wrong? i have no idea but apart from one batch that tasted like a municipal swimming pool (ott on the bleach when cleaning) everything else has come out lovely (well, aprart from another batch that turnes grey/green bit i poured that one down the sink).

With regards the chemical taste i was wondering if you treat your water to remove chlorine?

Sorry i dont want to hijack this thread...
The tap water here is a dream, the taste was a result of me being a noob and going OTT with the bleach during cleaning and i guess not rinsing . A good reason for any more like me to read and pay attention to the Cleaners and Sanitizes sticky in beer brewing discussions!
However i left the offending batch in the back of the cupboard to see what would happen. 3 weeks more down the line and the taste has pretty much gone (or my tastebuds have died)... Do chlorophenols disappear/loose their taste?
