O.K., was brewing Nbs Inkeeper, and it was my first kit from them that included the new Hop Union sealed bags. The kit came with EKG, Fuggle, and Styrian Golding.
I always smell and taste my hop additions, mostly to train myself to recognize and appreciate different hops.
I noticed that all three varieties seemed fresher, more aromatic, and more complex that the hops that usually come in the JD Carlson sealed film bags supplied by NB and Midwest.
My question: Is this just a quirk, and for some reason my sniffer and taster were just in fine form this AM, or has anyone else noticed this?
I am more apt to believe it is just my imagination, but was curious enough to post.
Pez.
