Slightly , but I just ordered a pound of Summit hops.

Their supposed to be souped up American hop that can be substituted for Centennial, Cascade and Amarillo in smaller quantities.

Anyone used Summit?

I've heard they are phenomenal for dry hopping.

I have never used them but I believe that Cent. are super Cascades so Summit must be pretty potent.

Thanks for the comments guys. I brewed this one yesterday and it's sitting in the fermenters now. The fermenter with US05 yeast is going like crazy, and the one with Saf 04 is taking its time a little, so it'll be interesting to see how they both finish up. I'm also curious to know what kind of difference the first wort hopping makes. I'll let you know.

at 60 minutes boiling time, the hops have a chance to convert the effect that they have on your wort to a bittering effect. anywhere from a 45 minute to 60 minute usually gives the hops enough time to throw solid alpha acid content at your beer. any less than that and you're playing with aroma qualities and flavor qualities.

This is interesting and might be an option for us Two Hearted lovers to look into given the recent hop shortage. Summit seems like a decently available hop and the fact that it has a high AA would be great for the hop shortage. I think I might do an experiment with my new brew using the Two Hearted grain bill and altering things with summit hops instead of centennial. Who knows what it will be like, but it's looking like my only option for now since they delicious centennial hops are so rare. =(

My only question is if summit can be used as flavor additions or if it should just be skipped and do a bittering / aroma like Bier suggested. Can anyone comment that has used summit as flavoring before?

Hi guys. (First post, by the way. )

I'm getting ready to do a batch of Two-Hearted clone, and am undecided on which yeast to use... I have White Labs Cal Ale WLP001 and Wyeast Irish Ale 1084. Any suggestions on which would be preferable?

I'm using the NB extract kit, btw:
1 lbs. Briess Caramel 40
9.15 lbs. Gold Malt Syrup
1 oz. Centennial (60 min)
1 oz. Centennial (20 min)
2 oz. Centennial (5 min)
1 oz. Centennial (dry hop)

Definitely use the WLP001 in this

I used this same malt bill for my IPA and it came out great, I only wished I used 2 pounds of munich rather than vienna or a different yeast than wlp001 for a maltier IPA. My next one will be munich and maybe english ale yeast!!! My hops were chinook, amarillo and cascade.

I don't like summit for flavor and aroma at all. It's a great bittering hop but that's all I'll use it for.

Ditto on the WLP001
