    Experimental hops. What to do with?

    I have 1 oz of 4.4 AAU hops labeled experimental that I have no idea what to do with. These were picked up by a friend who was at the time selling to craft brewers at a convention. Any ideas? Recommendations?

    Slightly sweet cider

    I would like to make a cider with a little residual sweetness and was thinking of steeping some crystal malts in juice on the stovetop then fermenting with some Nottingham yeast. Similar to graff but lower abv since there is no added fermentables and excluding the hops. Has anyone had success...

    yeast with decent results at 70' temps

    Thinking ahead to summer here. My only space to ferment is a small cabinet that stays about 65 in winter and 70 in the summer. What yeast strains, if any, produce decent results at that temp. The only place for a swamp cooller is the garage and in ms in summer I don't think that will work.
