I got hold of some Chinook hops – I'd wanted to try them for a good while – and used them in a nice bitter beer. They're 12% alpha acid, so well suited for the task.
Brew length 10 L
2 kg pale malt
10g crystal malt
25g Chinook 12.7% 90
25g Chinook 12.7% 0
Mash 67ºC, 1 hour
Yeast: US-05
Original gravity: 1050
I made a hop tea from the bittering hops before throwing them into the brew, and held it back to add to the fermenting bucket with the cooled wort. A full pint of hop tea is a pretty intense thing.
Update: 1st August this has reached 1.010, but hasn't cleared, so I'm going to dry hop it for another week.
