What was I thinking? Saaz hops

[Homercidal]

I was all over that - but, of course Ms Lorena seems to have ignored (probably on purpose)

- although 4905 is lost, and you'd think she would accommodate us...

Wait, what?? It's lost? AW man, that was easily the best post on here EVAR! I still chuckle seeing the expression on her face. (pauses for chuckle)

Oh well. I guess I'll have to rely on my 5 backup copies...

Seriously, the Bo Pils would be great. Had one at H&H and wasn't expecting much but it was a KILLER beer.

I've had some great Bo Pils, so I hope mine is comparable to some of the others I've had. I'll go pick that stuff up next week when it comes in, and get to work on two brews. I NEED an IPA, so that's a priority!

I'm with you there!

I NEED an IPA like I NEED air!
the others are just for fun

Saaz can be used at flameout for just about any beer to smooth out the flavor and aroma. Great for cream ales, koelsch and just about any lager.

I heart saaz.

I use Saaz in my cream ale all the time at flameout. It really has a nice smooth, sometimes minty flavor (to me at least)

Simmer the saaz in some cream and make a hop ice cream!

What water are you using.... I've been wanting to make one and was planning on ro water with a small touch of cacl2 to get calcium to 50ppm from what I hear having very low mineral content is the key

I'll probably use all RO water (like my Vienna lager) and then add a few salts to it to get me at a nice pilsen water profile.

My water is WAY too high in alkalinity to even consider a BoPils with it. I have to go the RO route.
