Classic Brewing Co Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Just put together the Country Brewer Lager & other adjuncts to clone a Carlton Draught, this time I am adding a Hop Tea later in the fermentation process as advised & noticed by other members, I have the Tettnanger x 12gm & was thinking as I started with a SG of 1040 maybe once the airlock has stopped its work or about day 7-8 or so might whack it in or do you reckon that's too late. I have in the past put it in at the start. Any feedback appreciated. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've loved the milder summer La Nina has brought us this year. I've had a gutful of SA dry, hot and unbearable summers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty I don't follow soccer at all. I just saw an opportunity to take the p155. BTW, I know it's called football but I do follow Australian Rules but I'm gradually easing away from AFL. My team, Essendon, have been crap for 20 years and the AFL rule changes every year are slowly diminishing my interest in what was once a great game. I still like to watch Australian Rules as opposed to AFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when the airlock has slowed right down , that’s when I add the dry hops, or in your case a hop tea. That seems to work well for me, though I do notice that the hops fade over time - I bottle in glass longuns... the reason I was given for this timing was 1) if you goo too early while fermentation is still vigorous the hop oils will end up escaping out of the airlock, 2) when you add hops late, you remove the lid and introduce oxygen by dropping in the hops (a small amount I imagine). So you want some fermentation to continue to use up that oxygen. Im in no way an expert, but my LHBS suggested this timing so I’ve stuck with that and it seems to go ok for me. I hope that helps.

All good mate, don’t really follow Aussie Rules as I live in Rugby League heartland, but most other sports I follow though, except for Cave Cycling Although I heard they are playing an Origin game in Adelaide 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people here are into it but I don't understand the marketing of playing in SA. We've all seen the minimal impact of having the Swans and GWS playing AFL in Sydney, the most populated city in Australia. I have my doubts Rugby League will have much "take up" impact in Aussie Rules loving SA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers brother Interesting, I have a 12gm pack of Tettnanger so I guess I have no choice now other than do a hop tea when the action has ceased. Next time I will try dry hopping, some of our members mentioned you get a better boost from this method. Cheers for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gullys Brewing Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Been a while, but thought I'd start getting involved again. A over complicated blonde ale, using home-grown hops (Chinook and Victoria) at FO and Columbus for bittering. Very on point beer, could do without the complicated grist though, great malt character with hints of fruity flavours. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I am drinking a SMATH, pilsner malt and triple hopped, citra, galaxy and amarillo, no boil to around 30ish-35ish IBUS. Great aroma and flavour, citrus dank heaven. 7g/L dry hop and Voss at 35c. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris! Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 16 minutes ago, Marksmans Gift said: No boil? this is new to me. Please expand!! very interested as I find my Voss beers very meh as of late It just means I added the hops after the boil, so nothing before 60 minutes all below boiling temps to preserve more aromatics and flavour compounds as those are lost the longer they are boiled and above certain temperatures. I tossed these into the cube and the hot wort on top when it was at 82c. 25g of citra and Amarillo and 15g of galaxy gave me around 30-38IBUs by taste and software. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add it once the airlock slows down or when the SG drops below 1.020. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris! Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I agree with @Shamus O'Sean but for really hoppy brews try the hop tea when you bulk prime and bottle or transfer to a keg, I wouldn't do this for this style though, just a suggestion for hoppier brews later.
