Separating batches so I have predominantly green hops, for batch for a pale ale tomorrow.
There appears to be two varieties. Made a hop tea. Herbal and citrus on the nose, grassy bitter finish.
Smaller variety is more floral.

I have a slow leak, where the keg would loose pressure over a few days. Eliminated the keg and posts by swapping the lid with another keg. Appears to be
The pressure release valve. It was done up very tight. It need vide grips to loosen. Squirted with star San and cleaned with a cotton bud. Reassembled and filled to 20psi (the keg has 14l of hoppy waimea ale in it)
