A lot of people dont like this hop due to it being used in Victorian Megaswills.

When i first started brewing i loved my megaswills so i used it for this reason.


I now use it along with what ever Aroma hop i feel like using on the day in my JPA (Jamo's Pale Ale) which is my House beer that i put on tap regularly.


I enjoy this Hop.... I reckon that its underrated and over Shunned.

I Challenge everyone to use this Hop :)

Brewing a familiar Dark Mild later today. (hint: Was the bastard tired? Or was he run over by a tire (tyre). No one really knows). One thing for sure. It will be a treat when done. Cheers!
