HOME BREW BEST BITTER FEATURING EXPERIMENTAL BRITISH HOPS | THE MALT MILLER HOME BREWING CHANNEL

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Can we home brew a best bitter using new UK Hop varieties? Growing hops in the UK is under threat of being extinct unless new and exciting varieties that are both commercial for the farmers and exciting for brewers can be found. Last year Martin and Stiffo spent time with the team at Charles Faram to see how the hop development plan in the UK is going...
During their visit they were privileged to see one new hop that is currently under trials, CF302. Further to this we then were able to get our hands on a very small amount of these hops as pellets and in this video we brew a bets bitter using them to see how they present in the glass and the outcome was surprising!

    Can't wait to give this a go, already love Jester and Harlequin. I recently brewed WHC old English yeast and that also attenuated out to 1006. 😊

    Great video and nice to see British hops getting due publicity. Bottled an IPA yesterday using all Harlequin and for me this has all the New World fruit you could want, but with the softness and balance of an English hop. Big fan of Tribute so looking forward to brewing with this CF hop.

    Guys the thin mash, lower gravity and saturated can be a bit of a beast is my thinking for the attenuation.

    Just brewed a batch with 50g addition of Williamette for the whirlpool. Did it off the back of the Tribute beer video. I’m on a quest to try and recreate something that is close to the Bristol beer Smiles which isn’t in production anymore! If anyone has got any insider knowledge on that recipe then shout out please!!!

    It really is a great variety and very exciting to see it’s development 🤞🏻 So we did the boil then cooled to 80c and added our whirlpool addition and let it spin for 30mins. Then at this point we added a further charge of hops (100g in this case) and let it spin again (using the pump) for another 30mins before cooling. After cooling we let it sit for 15/20mins to allow everything to settle to the bottom of the kettle before then transferring to the FV. It’s the same approach to our St Austell Tribute clone and it really helped pay off in the aroma.

    Not yet, promising signs from those we know have tested it so hopefully it will make it further down the development program pipeline. We will keep folks posted as we hear more

    The kit we brewed isn’t available in this format due to the hops being experimental, however if you fancy brewing the beer that we used the grist from, it’s this one www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/five-points-best-best-bitter/

    Was very excited to see these new and exciting British hops. Hope they can come up with some that will compete with the fruity NZ and USA rather than traditional best bitter hops.

    This hop could absolutely show up in an IPA or Pale Ale and hold its own against the varieties you’re referring too! Incredibly exciting!!!
