Hello all, i'm half way through my first brew (A fixby gold) it tastes fantastic, but it's going fast and i need to get on with the next before i run out.
I have a Woodfords Wherry for the next brew and i would like to rack your brains on making this kit more hoppy.
I really love the aroma and taste of the hops , i thought the Fixby could have done with a bit more. I boiled teabag for about 15 mins.
I have several things i could add , so info on how, when and why would be great if anybody has time to reply.
This is what i have -
1 - Youngs goldings (Dry hop) 100g.
2 - Brupaks Fuggles pellets 100g.
3- Brewferm Hop aroma tablets.
I'm after that really nice strong hop taste.
Also i intend to bottle, i have a secondry to use if needed.
Any ideas would be great for an experiment.
Thanks in advance

If the goldings are whole hops then you could put 25g in the secondary after racking from the primary.But be prepared to lose a few pints of beer to the hops when you rack the beer to a bottling bucket...oh by the way wet whole hops are a b'stard to get out of a carboy(if thats what your using for a secondary?)
