<p>I have been playing with S04 lately, as I like how it floculates nicely. However, I have found that it seems to squash my hops. Maybe it just tastes that way as it does not attenuate as well as s05 or Wy1056.</p>
<p>In the future, I will likely do this again with Wy1056 that I harvested on a previous batch.</p>
<p>The only reason I did not dry hop is because I reckoned I could use that same 100g on another brew instead of a dry hop The local brew shops are slammed now that some are shipping…</p>

<p>Hey Michael, I'm not that keen on S04 - do you like it or can't find S05 ?</p>
<p>Plenty of in hops there, just surprised you're not dry hopping it too :-)</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>

<p>I kegged and tasted this beer yesterday.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I really like it. With all of the late addition hops, and the bit at first wort, it does not have any astringency.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Although I think the Crystal Malt sweetness is carrying the hop flavour, I may drop it down a wee bit next time as it tastes a touch sweet for me. My wife likes it, which is saying something as she does not like the bitterness I usually love.</p>

<p>Are you sure it the Target that's missing? I just found the Michael Jackson Pocket Guide to Beer (6th Ed). That states that bottle conditioned Spitfire is dry hopped with EKG. That would contribute to the spicy, dry finish that is characteristic of Kent Ales.</p>
