Grandmaster Brewer
I'm brewing an ale tomorrow based on the Janet's Brown recipe, a cracking beer that I've tasted but never made.
I'm going to try mash hopping instead of dry hopping. With this method you add the hops to the mash and remove them before the boil. This should add a lot of flavour with no bittering.
You would expect the flavour to disapear during the boil but I understand that it doesn't. I'm adding 20g of Northern Brewer and 30g of Centennial.
To do a proper experiment I'd need to split the batch but I can't be bothered. I don't know if it'll work but I'm sure the beer will be good either way. If it doesn't I'll give it to my mate who'll drink anything.
Does anybody have any experience of this method? If so, how did it turn out?
