TroubleShooting
Matt Wassum - Newtown, Pennsylvania asks,
I bought a Blichmann HopRocketTM after visiting a local brewery and being floored by the tremendous hop flavor. They used Azacca® hops in an IPA. I used my HopRocketTM on a Blind Pig clone with my homegrown Centennial hops. To my surprise I got no hop flavor at all. It tasted like tea. So I next tried it with Azacca® hops on a Kitchen Sink IPA. More tea. What gives?
The HopRocketTM is an in-line hopping device intended for use with whole cone hops. These types of brewing tools can be used between the kettle and wort cooler for aroma additions, similar
