Having sourced two kilos of fresh Centennial Hop Cones direct from Brisbane growers – Hilltop Hops, we wanted to create a clean, no-fuss pale ale to showcase the fresh hop flavour.  This was our first time brewing with fresh flowers, so we have added the cones in the whirlpool stage to extract maximum aromas, with no other late hop additions.

A revamp of our 2022 fresh hop beer. This time with new season Fresh Centennial & Chinook Hop Cones direct from Brisbane growers, Hilltop Hops.  Our goal – to create a clean, no-fuss pale ale to showcase the fresh hop flavour.  This was our third time brewing with fresh flowers, so we added 6kg of cones in the whirlpool stage to extract maximum aronmas, and added more of the same hops in the dry hopping.  The result is a light ale with aroma and flavours of fresh summer stone fruit.

At one stage Davy had half a dozen bowls of different flavours (fruits and adjuncts) and he was blending, mixing, tasting, blending, mixing, tasting ….
