Chill as rapidly as you can to preserve those more volatile aromatics.

For this ...The hop bill is posted as it was brewed. For this recipe the late boil hop additions were substantial enough to provide all the bitterness such a light beer needed. This “hop-bursting” technique adds aromatics along with a smooth bitterness that often tastes a bit lower than the calculation suggests. Just another move from my bag of hopping tricks.The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-74224488658101068672012-12-12T15:14:03.847-05:002012-12-12T15:14:03.847-05:00Did you leave out your bittering addition?Did you leave out your bittering addition?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-67736983707727736642012-11-26T07:05:00.733-05:002012-11-26T07:05:00.733-05:00I've written a couple of basic-ish posts.

For example this one on <a href="http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2010/07/how-to-homebrew-all-grain-beer.html" rel="nofollow">my brewing setup</a> and one with <a href="http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2012/02/11-mistakes-every-new-homebrewer-makes.html" rel="nofollow">tips for new brewers</a>. However, there are so many great books out there I haven't devoted much time to the basics. John Palmer's How to Brew is hard to beat, and an older version is <a href="http://www.howtobrew.com/" rel="nofollow">available for free online</a>. If you can, it's also really helpful to find someone local you can watch brew.

I'm a huge hophead, and I've been playing around with hopping up some different styles. I had some great results with my "Hoptoberfest" this fall, so I've been toying with the idea of a hoppy Helles for the spring. I might have to steal your hop schedule - leaning towards Centennial/Motueka/Mosaic.Eric Branchaudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15107351232072273246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-14564471623407982902012-11-21T10:38:25.843-05:002012-11-21T10:38:25.843-05:00Mike, you could try the WLP90 SD yeast.
