Then I crushed it and the smells went nuts!! So just break open the hops and hopefully you will find your smell!!Matt Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205462266152664019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220351618897793655.post-35848492176846748172008-08-27T23:58:00.000-05:002008-08-27T23:58:00.000-05:00So what you are saying is, you like Simcoe?

I love hops so much, this year has been a big focus on hops, whether it's growing, getting the hopshot and brewing back to back IPAs!! The hefe I brewed was 1oz at 60 minutes, I found myself almost bored during the boil! haha!! <BR/><BR/>I am thinking I will brew 5 gallons of a homegrown APA with nothing buy homegrown hops, just to see what happens. It's going to take a few years to get enough hops, but it will be worth it, I hope! haha!! I know I will want to use them for aroma in the meantime!Matt Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205462266152664019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220351618897793655.post-75035178872843301982008-08-27T14:45:00.000-05:002008-08-27T14:45:00.000-05:00As far as my hop harvest went, I got 1 ounce dry (...As far as my hop harvest went, I got 1 ounce dry (including the plastic bag). Down side, I can't smell a thing. So, don't know where I / el planto went wrong.<BR/><BR/>I liked the surly furious you loaned me after camping. I did enjoy the aroma and bitterness. Definately would drink it again. If you have such high recommendations for Simcoe, I'm definately going to throw down a batch with it.Brihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13876724589704755699noreply@blogger.com
