What Hop

[stevej]

Decided! i was going to have a big dry hop and i still am, yourself and Clibit has helped me make my mind up, so its going to be 50g Simcoe and 30 g of Citra Thanks guys :thumb:

Totally changed my mind forgot to update ended up doing a 60g Citra dry hop the ale is really good however theres not much aroma left now, but the ale itself is lovely i will be using Citra more love this hop :grin:

My next Hop to try is Riwaka

Riwaka is an aroma hop with a floral, grapefruit and passionfruit like flavour. It's a punchy addition to the new-world styles of Pale Ale and regional Pilseners. A cult hero that is established in the New Zealand craft beer culture.

Not my words, thinking of using my hops in a Pilsner i think it will add a nice twist on one

Riwaka in a Pilsner? That's a great idea. :thumb:

I think something like the Riwakapa recipe in this thread suits me, pale malt Caramalt and wheat is a heavenly blend, and I will use the best yeast from my yeast trials. :thumb:

Challenger are my favorite hop, so versatile. But the best home brew I have ever drank was the malt millers Dennis King's Galaxy delight.
