The only problem is that I don't have time to brew much anymore, and I'm all stocked up on traditional hops. Maybe I'll split a batch and dry hop half with a couple of ounces of one of the varieties you have highlighted recently.Señor Brew™https://www.blogger.com/profile/16551091801092085016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-54198448419626182592011-11-11T13:34:58.279-05:002011-11-11T13:34:58.279-05:00Both yeast and hop aromatics fade with time, so th...Both yeast and hop aromatics fade with time, so that may be all that is happening. At first the issue was that I was taking small pours every few days that sucked up the slow flocculating yeast.<br /><br />With a few ounces of rice hulls I didn't have a problem with the sparge. Just don't run off the wort too quickly. Cutting the surface of the grain bed can also help if the runoff slows.The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-56817558898954485122011-11-11T12:20:33.262-05:002011-11-11T12:20:33.262-05:00Long time reader, first time commenting.

Just curious as I've been nervous to use that much without rice hulls. <br /><br />Cheers!Nickhttp://nicomakesbeer.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-29811378294624648982011-11-11T11:27:55.256-05:002011-11-11T11:27:55.256-05:00You say that its gotten better.

In my experiences with this combo, albeit limited, is that when young the yeast/hop combo just doesnt mesh well. With age it seems to smooth out a lot. <br /><br />Ive been trying to rationalize this but most of the reasons I come up with have gaping holes, care to weigh in on why you think this happend in your beer?Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10954352851798916893noreply@blogger.com
