Hey all,
I am about to harvest my second year Centennial plant and I expect more hops than I'll be able to use up by next year's harvest. I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on what to do to test the bitterness level of the hops since I won't be sending them to a lab to determine the AAU %. I had an idea on doing a 1 gallon tester batch or two, just a simple pale ale, nothing special, just to get an idea of how much I should be using.
Does anyone else have a method they want to share? Or is there an existing thread someone can refer me to?
If this is the wrong section to post this thread in, let me know. I'll repost in the correct section.
Cheers.
