Good day Brewsters.
This is my first post on this forum. I'm from rural Cape Town area and started brewing during the first alcohol prohibition, bought all the all-grain brewing equipment and mofifying my 45l Coleman coolerbox into a mash tun. I initially started brewing 5gal all-grain premix recipes from my LHBS using overseas hop varieties. Hence noticed how cheap SA hop varieties are and googled for Southern Hop varieties which where better in usage for bittering v aroma, when I stumbled uppon this site and subsequently subscribing and writing this post.
I searched this site and found usefull info regarding the usage of the Southern Hop varieties, also that it is very cheap to purchase hops from the farm in George - suppose it's the one on top of Outaniqua Pass.
Anyway, I stumbled upon this site - saw a video on youtube:
https://johnfearless.com/south-african-hops-varietals/
.. that lays out nicely how SA hops can be used for bittering and/or aroma - though it would be helpfull to share.
This will be my introduction to this site. I'm a novice brewster getting to grips with brewing procedings. I've probably done about 8 5gal batches to date, a Weiss, Belgian Blonde, APA, IPA, Irish Stout, Pilsner..
Happy brewing !
