Compo 10,328 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 My hops are now all safely gathered in and laid out in the loft for drying. Good harvest this year; I should think enough to make about 800-1000 pints of beer. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,284 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I used to collect fuggles growing beside the hop fields near Hereford but never got them to dry properly. How do you dry them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smiffy49 590 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 What are fuggles Peverilperil? Smiffy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,284 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Fuggles are a variety of hop used for making mild ale or dark ales although I have used them for bitter. A very traditional English hop. Used to be a favouritewithr amateurs for top fermenting brews. Not made beer for many a year but would like another go. tied up with cider making these days. I used to have a beer brew every Saturday morning using a Baby Burco nappy boiler. My mates reckon that the flavour was unique The beer I made when living in Keyworth seemed better than the beer I made when I moved to Stafford. Obviously the water was different.

DJBrenton 738 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 800-1000 pints of beer. You must like a good pint, or you have a lot of good friends. Anyone with 1000 pints of beer has as many friends as they choose to have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
