Wasteful of the Sazz certainly.<br /><br />In my view the last addition will contribute more flavour than aroma; plenty of aroma can still get boiled off in thirty-minutes. It is common for British brewers to put aroma hops on the hop back before the copper is cast onto them, thereby receiving no boiling.<br /><br />Hop aroma was never a strong feature of British beers anyway, so perhaps the late addition was meant for flavour only.<br /><br />This indicates that the boil was a long simmer rather than a hard boil. Maybe it was a one-off experimental brew.Graham Wheelernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-47713775891186094442010-02-17T04:50:51.131-08:002010-02-17T04:50:51.131-08:00Barm, they used Saaz in quite a lot of their beers...Barm, they used Saaz in quite a lot of their beers.
