Anybody know anything about the Brewer's Best Hopnog 2011 kits? They just showed up at myLHBS today and was wondering if anybody had tried kits with 'experimental' hops before.
There is no suggested hop schedule in the recipe (you are suppose to experiment!), so I was looking for some feedback on mine. I've never created my own hop schedule before, so we'll see how it turns out.
I am basing this hop schedule on the diagram that slicksmix posted here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/general-guidelines-laying-out-your-hop-schedule-157797/index2.html
I chose 20, 7 and 0 minutes to ensure I get the full flavor and aroma of this new hop variety.
Thoughts?
