***** Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 What a lovely aroma [love] emanating from this can as I opened it in constructing my EB Porter. So pleasant that I am changing my Brew Plan to accommodate a straight English Best Bitter next brew. I used 2 x 7g of S-04 yeast in my Porter and I will also attempt to rinse this yeast for pitching in my Bitter Ale. I will be aiming for a mid strength suitable for kegging and will be going without additional hops again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 The EB is a great kit and uses Styrian Goldings as the aroma hop. I just made a batch with additional Styrian Goldings and it tasted and smelt great at bottling. Now the waiting game begins. Let us know how the porter turns out.

GrahamB8 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Ive made a few of these simply with DME and a hop tea and all of them have been excellent ... Your post has just put it in my current queue [joyful] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieH Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I couldnt agree more about the lovely aroma[love] I put down the extra smooth bitter 3 days ago and was stuck with the great hoppy aroma upon opening the EB can. Might even dry hop with some EKG hops from the fridge but I might leave it alone, not sure. Definitely the best smelling brew that I have done to date though.

Hairy Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Dry hopping with EKG would add a nice touch. I would run with that; but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only the 6th day in the FV, the SG is at 1.019 so has a little way to go but the tasting [love] . Hopefully it only gets better from here [joyful] .
