Hi
Currently on my second kit after a long break from brewing. It's a Beer Works Presidents Sierra Pale Ale.
This comes with a 50g bag of Citra hop pellets to be added after the first 5 days in the FV.
Thinking of getting another of these kits, but using a different hop.
Could I swap the Citra for Mosaic pellets? Assume it would be OK, both being used in the same kind of ales.
Also, the instructions that came with the Beer works kit said to break the hops down with a knife for 1 minute, add 500ml of boiling water and break down for a further 2 minutes.
This can't be right as when the boiling water touches the pellets they disolve.
Thinking these instructions must be for hop leaves. Are you supposed to just drop the pellets in whole?
Any help would be appreciated.
