T...Thanks Will, this one was bottled conditioned. <br /><br />The Target hops don’t really add a lot to this particular beer, as I’ve not used that many in a ten gallon batch, with most of the flavour coming from the Columbus.<br /><br />I do intend to showcase the Target in another brew soon. They appear to be fairly unpopular among homebrewers over here, generally used as an early bittering hop and regarded as a bit ‘harsh’ and thought to be best blended with other varieties. Some commercial breweries use them to good effect; Fullers in their London Pride and ESB are some of the more widely known.<br /><br />I have a suspicion they get a bit of a bum deal over here and might be a more interesting hop than many UK homebrewers think. With this in mind, I might try using them in a single hop beer soon, to establish their full worth. <br />Mark Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086235759157741876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006581506594649155.post-75321417330864821342012-10-05T18:26:57.784+01:002012-10-05T18:26:57.784+01:00I've not used Target hops before, although I h...I've not used Target hops before, although I have heard good things. What type of flavor do they contribute?<br /><br />And what a nice looking beer, you're making me thirsty.
