Dry Hop Experimenting

I cannot believe that I had never considered doing this myself as the idea is so basic. It is a great way to showcase hops before you brew with them. Its worth the read. :beer:

Thats a great idea. I might have to give it a try with some mosaic pellets that I have in the freezer.

That is a great idea, aren't they "lucky" to have "The Bud Light doesn't provide much in the way of flavor, so the hops really stand out." :lol: What would be our equivalent?

this is not a new idea, higsons brewery used to use american budweiser as a medium for its hop trials in the late 80's(i was told this by stuart thompson the ex head of quality control and ex head chemist!)

pity they didnt do a bit more research into their own abysmal lager! :-&

Maybe not a new idea for everyone, but definitely one that had not occurred to me and I am glad to have read about it :D
