Hi Isabelle
Well, last night I managed to create a concoction which allowed me to get a dose of hops down, but there is a downside.
To kill enough of the bitter taste and the horrible flaky mouthfeel, I melted 100g cooking chocolate to coat 3 days worth of hops, then mixed that with a tin of pears in syrup then poured a packet of QuickGel over it ( oh and added a couple of sweeteners!).
The downside is that that little lot adds up to about 376KCal per portion...bang goes any form of diet!!
Question: Is there any practical replacement for hops in your programme?
