Harvest Ale - A test of Freshness vs. Flavour.

There have been a few lessons learnt in past harvest brews. Filter the hops out of the kettle so they do not enter the pipes or pump, nightmare!! Freshness is key, and I think as happy as we look I am certain that a vacuum sealed poly bag would be a good idea... These hops looked a bit sad. Any way the malt was Simpsons - Golden Promise and healthy English ale yeast. Will post the method soon, maybe the "goblin" could do it for us?
