Due to the hop shortage and no buying power, I will not be able to contract some of the hop varieties that I use until 2012! I have contracted some other varieties as substitutes that I have not used before. So I am going to make hop teas of each hop variety so I can taste and smell the differences and the similarities.
Has anyone done this before? If so, what temp. should the tea be made at?
Are there any other tests that I can do?
I will brew full batches with the substitute hops but any homework will help me feel more confident in the hop changes.
Thanks,
