Thanks MagnusTS, I think it is hop pellets. I will probably cold crash and see how it looks before deciding on whether to use a hop sock. Cheers

Thanks a lot terrym. Just a quick question. Is it okay to put the FV in my garage for those couple of days, to cold crash, prior to bottling? I wondered if that would be too cold at this time of year? I have a couple of muslin socks I can use to put over the syphon tube. Cheers.

Hi, I am due to add hops to my Mangrove Jack's Juicy IPA in a few days time. The last time I added hops, I used a muslin bag to put them in. I was going to just add them loose this time, in order to get more hop flavour in to the beer, but wondered if my basic syphon tubing, with a sediment trap...

Thank you, I have thought about trying a hop tea. Cheers

Thanks GhostShip, I'm partial to Brewdog Punk IPA, so may give the Dead Phony a try. I've heard Mangrove Jack's is also a good brand, so will look into their beers too. Cheers

Thanks Portreath, that's useful to know. Hope it turns out well.

Please could I have any recommendations for good hoppy session ale to try next. I have recently brewed the Woodforde's Admiral Reserve, which is nice, but a little on the strong side when having a few! I thought about the Young's APA, but even that looks to be a bit strong. I see that Wilko have...

Thanks for the reply. I'll be taking mine to the garage in a few days, where it's cooler and will hopefully clear and condition nicely.

Hi Rob63, just wondered if you've sampled this one yet and if you have, what is your verdict. I bottled my 18 litre batch on Wednesday, so will wait a few weeks to sample (or maybe 2!) Cheers

Hi dwhite60, sorry for the late response to your question. Well, I bottled the beer and left it a coupe of weeks to try. It looked fine, not cloudy and appeared to be lively enough. However, I am just not happy with the taste. The only thing that possibly went wrong is that the dry hops I added...

Thanks Nicks90

Hello all, I have had my Bure Gold in the FV for 7 days now and have just taken a reading. I looks like 1.014 or perhaps a little lower. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of bubbling going on now. I was going to add the dry hops tomorrow and thought about leaving them in for a week or so...
