I like how buying in bulk makes IPAs more economical so I figured why not test them first as a super hoppy pale ale first. MoreBeer sells boxes of hops that looks appealing but comes with 2 oz of Magnum. I’m brewing 2.5 gal batches and no longer like sharing bags of hops between more than two beers so this won’t serve me well as a bittering hop as I shoot for just about 20 IBUs in most beers. It states it tastes like Wilamette, not something I’d see as appealing. Thoughts?
And Azacca? I’ve had an amazing IPA but brewed a 44 IBU pale ale and found it lacking. I’m thinking of trying it again but at 60+ IBUs.
I fell in love with HBC-342 long ago, it had a crazy melon-like flavor in a hoppy pale ale, but when I tried it in an IPA, it wasn’t even as good.
Chinook seems to be a love it or hate it hop. I love Arrogant Bastard and think it a fine beer. As a pale ale? Anyone tried it?
I’m brewing a dank black IPA and went in for some dry hops and was pointed to Strata. I see it provides some rank dank only as a dry hop. Anyone use it as a single hop?
What’s the most piney hop, like sucking on pine cone extract?
I’d love to hear what’s been tried and found only really good as one or the other and why.
