What Hop

[stevej]

So whats your favourite hop and for what purpose

 

[clibit]

I like them all!

Simcoe, Amarillo, Citra and Centennial are fantastic in American style ales. Galaxy too.

Motueka, Nelson Sauvin, Green Bullet and Wakatu for a NZ pale.

First Gold, Northdown, EKG, Challenger, Bobek and Brewers Gold in English style ales.

Impossible to pick one from those.

 

[howyoubrewin]

Got a lot of favourites.

As with clibit I love Wakatu and Wai-iti in a NZ pale ale that I do.

Cascade,Citra,Galaxy and Hull Melon are my favourites to use in IPA's.

Some of the more traditional English style hops for my porters and stouts like EKG and Fuggles.

I would like to use a hop that imparts a bit of spice into my porter if anyone has any ideas or tips?

Progress might be a good choice. Or Northdown or Challenger.

Had a few to many on sunday night and went on a auction site so could not resist at the price so bought these
Magnum
Aramis

Any thoughts on what ale styles these would be suited for are they better suited for aroma or bittering ?
Regards Steve

 

[clibit]

Magnum is a good bittering hop. A lot of homebrewers like it cos it provides bittering with very little flavour, allowing you to use late hops to provide all the flavour and aroma. Aramis is an aroma hop, used a lot in Belgian ales, suited to blonde beers I suspect, but never used it. People speak well of it though.

the night is young, so I ho(p)e to get around to this one on my travels.

my faves so far are galaxy & Amarillo out of 4 hops tried in my HB.

I have admiral, Apollo & Chinook on their way which will make a total of 7 hops tried in my HB.

As for commercials
I've had EKG in various Shepard neame beers and various other hops in brewdog beers, etc. Tried a mosaic from m&s and that was disappointing. not put off, I think they went easy on the hops.

I tend to put 100-200g hops in per 21 litres of beer.:-D

Mosaic is awesome! If you like the American hops that is. Got a single hop IPA on the go with it at the moment. If you get the chance, try Adnams Mosaic Pale Ale, great pint.

Do hop pellets have a stronger consistency than leaf?

Do hop pellets have a stronger consistency than leaf?

Pellets are apparently about 10% more potent than leaf.

 

[stevej]

Has anyone tried Jarrylo Hops? sounds interesting thinking about putting together a order with THBC

Jarrylo 100g (USA) Vacuum packed Alpha Acid 12.6% 2014 Harvest
Jarrylo offers complex fruit flavours that make for a very unique Pale Ale and blend seamlessly into an IPA. Notes of orange marmalade, citrus and herbal spice are intense on the nose, and carry over to the glass with a subdued tropical flavour. This hop translates perfectly to Pale Ales, Saisons and Belgians. Dual purpose hop. Vacuum foil packed for guaranteed freshness.
