Anyone ever hear of these? I'm looking to do a clone of Stone's IPA, and wondered where to get them/when to use them. Here's a link: http://www.stonebrew.com/ipa/
This is WAAAAYYYY off-topic, but you know how sometimes you think about something you haven't thought about in ages? I thought about the movie short circuit a few days ago, downloaded the movie and watched it last night. Then today I see Johnny 5 on your avatar. So flippin' wierd!
EdWort posted a clone for this beer. Looked good from the picture. I don't think it included Abtanum. I bet you could skip them. http://homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=33213&page=4 post #37
looks like just warrior and Centennial
But really...anyone ever heard of these? I'm a big fan of Stone IPA...I'd like to make it a house brew if I can get the ingredients/technique down. Lord knows I'm spending $6.99 on a six pack.
Northern Brewer sells Ahtanum pellets and HopsDirect sells whole leaf. From the description posted by the vendors, it sounds like they are an American-style flavour/aroma hop similar to Cascade or Amarillo.
Maybe it's my aging taste buds & sense of smell, but I don't think of Cascades & Amarillo as being similar, other than they both have citrus notes.

I have never used Ahtanum, but everything out there says they are closest to Cascade and Amarillo. Didn't mean to imply that Amarillo and Cascade were substitutable.
Abtanum Hops?
