Monique's Special Hopps

Monique, Gerry's wife, is really special.  Once a week we take over her kitchen and make a big mess (we clean it of course.)  The smell of boiling malt permeates her house.  And to get even with us she goes off and buys a bag of organic hops for us to use.  Nice!

As we ran low on Fuggel today and she purchased 5g of Organic hops we just tossed the whole bag in.  This ought to be interesting!



Tin of Muttons Pilsner
Powdered Malt from somewhere in Germany (well we bought it locally)


180g Crystal Malt
30g Light Lager
                                     30min              15min          0min
Fuggel Hops                 15g                                     15g
Stickenbract                  10g                                      5g

Organic Hops                                           5g

Method:
Boil water
Crack grains
Steep grains in water (turn it off)
Bring malt to a boil
When boiling add hops at 30 - 15 - 0

Dump in primary fermenter

(this required some filtering.  As the organic hops had expanded considerably and were floating on top the wort.)
Add water to 23ltr and 26C

Sprinkle on yeast (we used yeast from the Pilsner kit)
