People are funny though. A lot will quote John Palmer's comment about oversparging leading to astringency--like "sucking on a teabag". And I'm thinking who the hell would ever suck on a teabag? And I'm being literal, not dirty. I assume that they’re talking about the aroma. People are funny though.

I looked back in my notes over the last 11 years of brewing and found plenty of Saaz, Hallertau, Kent Golding and Tettanger but only one entry for Cluster. The sad thing is the entry is from 1999 for a porter brewed with wheat with an asterisk that reads "Remember — You loved smell of Cluster hops." Guess I return to my roots just as I discover your recent blog. Can't wait to try it again, especially since I'm brewing a cream ale tomorrow.
