Scotch Irish is toying with "Randall the enamel animal&

Post by PRMason »

Hi guys,
I am toying around with a Dogfish Head style in-line hop infuser for the cask ales at Fort York. I haven't tried it out yet, but it looks good. My quandry is, (if it works) which of my 5 one-off festival beers would benefit from its use. I will have 2 beer engines, but only one will have the hop infuser. I'm thinking Major Misconduct, the Glengarry 91/- (shilling) Scotch Ale and the Extra-Hop Stout. Captain Cascade and Chaplain's Solace Old Ale poured as is.
Cross your fingers and let the experiment begin!

Personally, I liked to try the Major Misconduct randallized. Something just doesn't seemed about doing that to the 90/- and the Stoutt.

A properly hopped beer needs no gimmicks.

I agree that the "randallizer" is a bit gimmicky, but it does impact the flavour and aroma in a positive way when used properly. Just tryin' to keep it fresh and interesting at the beer fests.

Please dont randalize a scotch ale... thats just wrong... The major misconduct would be neat though.

I tried the 'randallized' 60 minute last year at the Madison County Hopfest and it was the freshest sample I have ever tried at a show.

It looks like the Major gets the nod for the Hop Bunny ( our name for Randall, it has bunny ears and everything).
