New Toys!

Just got back from america where i picked up a Blichmann hop rocket and beergun which im pretty excited about!
Looking forward to using the hop rocket at the weekend for a burst of hop aroma into a light pale ale.
Home brew stuff over there is definately a good bit cheaper than here - same we dont have a British equivalent of Blichmann!

I'm sure I remember someone else on here getting a hop rocket. Can't remember who it was, though.

Anyway, enjoy your new shininess!

That's, looking forward to using it!

what are your plans to use it - post boil hopping the beer on its way to chilling and the FV? or do u have a more inventive plan? ive wondered if u could use one to contain the boil hops and recirculate thru it?

[calumrobertson]

I'm going to use it to pass wort through before chiller and also as a randle in my kegerator

Yeah but wouldn't that be used hop rather than fresh hop aroma?

I think Fil means recirculating during the boil, less waste and mess and clearer wort?

I'm going to the states next year, and was going to have a look at their homebrew shops. Did you just bring it back through customs or post it to your self. Cheers

Just brought it back in my case...no different to buying some new shoes or similar there is my thinking
