Wanted to up the hops on this one to bring more aroma. Its a wee bit different and going to try Target hops for the first time.
Since one of my three barrels is almost empty, actually it is (just finished the Admirals Reserve kit) I wanted to get another conditioning soon.
Any comments, tips or advice?
