Quick and diry guide to fermenting fruit - cider and wine
Anyone else tried Incognito? I have tried it before but didn't mix it properly, so I think most of it dropped to the bottom of the FV in a lump. This time giving it a proper stir with hot wort seems to have dissolved it better. I haven't tried the beer yet.
I've had a stinking cold for a week, so there wasn't any point in tasting it until now, but I think it's come out quite well. The other hops I used were quite old, so I wanted to see if the extract would give it a bit of a boost, which it did without being too overpowering.
I bought the extract in a 16g sachet and used a set of precision scales to measure out 4g for this 19L brew. That seems to be the sweet spot for "brightening" the flavour and aroma without clobbering the rest of the hops.
