Hopback Brewery Summer Lightning Golden Ale 500ml glass bottle (Pack of 24)

Product Information

Hops grown in the Pacific Northwest of America have strong citrus, stone fruit, melon and piney qualities. With similar fruitiness, the hops of New Zealand and Australia come with more of a tropical lilt. In Germany and the Czech Republic, the classic hops are herbal, floral and grassy, with a bitter citrus depth. In Britain, traditional hops evoke an English garden, with flowers and leaves, stone fruit and berries, wood and spice. Look out, too, for new British varieties such as jester, harlequin, olicana and godiva, which have tropical aromas of passion fruit, pineapple, peach and lime.

Even though it went with hiccups, I am in no doubt that AG is the way to go! I'm currently looking at S/S boilers and tuns And it begs for a perfect summer ale--crisp, dry, refreshing, but sturdy enough to satisfy, a lovely citric hop aroma leaps from the dazzling white meringue. Anybody have any hints on how to clone this ? I found the following, but would appreciate your inputs and experience as to the best way to build a similar beer to one of my summer favourites (and if i can get this off to a start soon, it might still be summer by the time I get to drink it!) Brewers add hops in varying amounts and combinations in the same way chefs add herbs, spices and seasonings. Hops are usually added during the boiling stage – the later the hops are added, the more aroma they give. Hops are my favourite flowers. Capable of turning a brew from bland to sublime, they give beer its intoxicating aromas – everything from fresh and floral through citrus and tropical to herbal and spicy.

Either recipe can be fermented with your favorite ale yeast, although a hop-accentuating strain, such as the one originating from Young's, might be just the thing. This is much more energy-efficient and shortens the time taken to brew. This also means that at peak production times, we can brew more beer in a shorter time-frame – good news all round!

I think I am the world’s expert on porter beers! I have always liked them, along with stout, even when they were not fashionable. It bothers me how Guinness manages to con so many people with its marketing. There are so many very good stouts available that put Guinness in its place. grams (2 1/2 ounce) Fuggles or Styrian Goldings hops, 5 percent AA, 1 hour 60 grams (2 ounces) East Kent Goldings hops, 5 percent AA, last 5 minutes of boilThe copper was set away to attain the boil before adding the hops. At this point I must explain that the boiler is an aluminium stand-alone boiler powered by gas.... In response to customer requests, we’ve introduced brewery-conditioned Summer Lightning.

Gluten-free and Vegan beer This recipe is mainly US measurements - I'd prefer UK or metric based recipes - Ideally with all easily UK sourceable ingredients too! I want to brew a 5 gal batch - 4 to go in a corny and the other gallon for bottles) Many people think that Summer Lightning isn’t quite the same as it was when it rose to popularity. Whether that is a consequence of having to rapidly scale production or whether drinkers tastes change. To me it was the beer that was on in most pubs local to me when I first started drinking. It most probably the beer that got me drinking ales rather than lager which nearly all my friends would of been drinking.

There are more than 200 hop varieties, each with its own unique qualities, which in turn are affected by the growing conditions, so the same variety grown in Washington State and Worcestershire will have different accents and aromas. As we ease into summer, we’re reaching for blonde ales, golden ales and modern hoppy pilsners, all pale, light and aromatic with fresh and fragrant hops. Did you know? Mashing is a simple infusion mash: 60 minutes at 150 degrees F, mash out at 175 degrees F, then sparge.

Pale or rather golden beers were riding a wave of popularity with the most English of ingredients at their core, Maris Otter malt and East Kent Golding Hops.Because we use pellets in our beer kit you will require a for the pellets if you have something else that can handle pellets then no need for the bag. To make an extract version of either of these beers, substitute pale malt syrup pound for pound for the malts, then toss in a half a pound of crushed pale crystal in your kettle (in a grain bag) and remove just before it gets to a boil.
