I wanted to try something a little different, and get it fermenting. I had a bit of the U1/108 experimental hops left over, and decided to try it alongside Huell Melon hops, which I've used in the past and really like. The Melon hops can reveal flavors of melon and strawberries, so we'll how that does alongside the experimental hops.
Brew Day: 25 Jan 2019
Partial Mash:
8 oz 2 row
2 oz flaked wheat
Boil (20 min):
1 lb Pilsen DME
4 oz table sugar
Hops:
7 g Huell Melon + 7 g U1/108 - FWH
14 g Huell Melon + 14 g U1/108 - flame-out, 10 min steep
7 g Huell Melon + 7 g U1/108 - dry hop
Yeast: US-05
After filling the fermenter and pitching the yeast, the hopped wort left in the brew kettle was poured into the growler that I'd used to store what was left over from a previous brew. That one was all U1/108 hops, so we'll see what comes of the final product when I collect enough leftovers to do boil a beer.
Addendum, 5 Feb: Dry-hopped.
Addenum, 10 Feb: Bottled today on 1 oz table sugar dissolved in 1/2 c boiling water. Got 9 good bottles out of it.
