"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Gave this one a whirl yesterday and everything went very well until the chill. I forgot to use my hopsack and of course they ended up plugging the plate chiller; so with no other means of chilling I decided to do the aussie no chill method. I dumped the boiling hot liquid into a keg and topped it up with 30psi to counteract the negative pressure I would get from the cooling. So far so good today although It's gonna take a solid 24 hrs to get it to pitching temp. It'll be interesting to see how this one turns out.
