Hva med å bruke 10 liter av vørteren som starter, la gjæringen komme godt i gang, og så tilsette resten? Jeg funderer på å dra den der på en kølsch nå.
Jeg ville brukt East Kent Golding (eller annen britisk Golding, om de ikke har EKG). Chinook kan være kraftige greier som smakshumle, mener jeg. Fra BrewWiki: Chinook (pronounced shin-ook) hops are a high-alpha variety of around 13% AA. Chinook hops has a strong and distinctive pine-like aroma and flavor that is not common among other varieties. They are also somewhat spicy with a mild fruitiness similar to that of other Northwest hops (Cascade, Columbus, Centennial), though definitely not as strong. Al Korzonas, author of "Homebrewing: Volume I", describes Chinook hops as "a cross between Saaz and a pine forest." The distinctive aroma and flavor make these hops best suited for hoppy American ales, but may be used as bittering hops for English or European beers.
