worth chucking it in........?

[andbrew]

It may be home brewer suicide to use a Brigalow product, but I picked up one of their 'Finishing Hops Tablet' today with the intention of chucking half into each of a couple of brews I'm about to do (details below). Sounds like the best thing since sliced bread ("it infuses the beer with fresh hop aroma and flavour charcteristics"); my questions are (and I've searched the forum and googled with little success):-
1. Have you used it?
2. Either way, Would it be detrimental to the brews below (don't care if it doesn't improve it but I don't want it to make them worse!) to risk chucking it in?

Brews
-Coopers Lager, 600g dex, 400g corn syrup, 700g ldmalt, s-23 yeast
-Cascade Lager, 500g rice syrup, 750g dex, 250g corn syrup, 300g ldmalt, s34/70

if you've already bought it, just put it in.

can't hurt anything, and you'll be able to tell us all if it works or not.


the only homebrewer suicide you can commit is not cleaning and sanitizing properly

Do they specify which hop or hops it contains?

It will be interesting to know your thoughts in due course.

[andbrew]

doesn't specify which hops, just the old 'local and imported ingredients'; very helpful!

In addition to what it promises (mentioned in my Opening Post) the packet says the tablet is chucked in after the yeast and "the slow release of small oil-encased bubbles from the bottom of the fermenter preomotes excellent transfer of hop oil components to the wort/beer".
