The Hop Addition Podcast – SMASH Series

To celebrate our recent sponsorship of The Hop Addition Podcast, we wanted to bring you a series of recipes that come directly from the team over at The Hop Addition! If you haven’t listened to the podcast then check it out here. Hosted by 4 amazingly passionate home brewers right here in the UK, The Hop Addition focus’ on bringing you both knowledge and entertainment from a wide range of guests and topics, all focused on our love for brewing amazing beer at home!

“Welcome to The Hop Addition Podcast. What started as 2 blokes in sheds talking about homebrew, while drinking homebrew has blossomed into something we’re very proud of. We’ve gained 2 more guys, and we’re digging into the things homebrewers are making and trying to pass on some useful information to help them make their beverages easier and better. Hopefully.”

Following our recent appearance on The Hop Addition Podcast, where we had an amazing discussion about SMASH recipes we would like to brew, we thought we just had to gather all those recipes and publish them as a series for you all to have a go at brewing!

This one is Stiffo’s English Pale Ale recipe, using the beautiful Warminster Floor Malted Maris Otter and delicate East Kent Goldings Hops!
