I just took a sample of this from the fermenter before I kegged it. I am suddenly a Kent Golding hop lover. All I can say is WOW!

Had a few glasses of this last night. This one is a keeper. I compared it to the last one I did. Exactly the same grain bill but last time I used Williamette hops in the following schedule
1 oz hops 60 minutes
1 oz hops 20 minutes
1 oz hops 10 minutes
When sampled side by side the new recipe is mellower for lack of ways to describe. My earlier one was more seltzery. The hops were detectable in my new recipe but not overwhelming. Just perfect for my taste. In the last recipe the hops were not detectable at all. I suppose that could be because it was bottled 7 months ago. Anyway it is time to order some Kent Golding hops because I want to make this stuff again.
