Unfortunately, I let the hops sit in the gin way too long. I only got to try the amarillo. Wow was that bitter. The bitterness stayed on my tongue for at least half an hour, even after trying to wash it away with water or beer. Next time I'll use less hops and more gin, and only steep for a few minutes. The other three hops either soaked up all the gin, or the gin evaporated. I have green mush now. <br /><br />Trying to figure out the easiest way to compare half a dozen hops at a time, without having to brew 6 beers. I think I'm going to make about a gallon of wort with about 20 ibu's, then pour hot into 6 seperate Ball jars. Each would have a different hop and stand hot for 10-15 minutes. Then I'll chill and add some dry yeast to each. I don't think it wouldn't be too painful, and I can try and compare all these new German and UK hops that I know nothing about.RudeBoyBrewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742094571957647083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4382952210263554196.post-1433650417051449222012-04-06T21:47:35.326-07:002012-04-06T21:47:35.326-07:00I got to try this out.
