Default Zeus vs Columbus?
O.k. Freshhops has some Zeus up (Columbus type) It says. Can anyone tell me the difference between Zeus and Columbus? I see the Zeus is around 16.4 AA and the Columbus pellets I was previously using were 12.2AA is that the only real difference? Do they flavor and bitter the same? What is your experience with them?
Thanks!

Reportedly they are the same hop. Some times listed as CTZ - Columbus, Tomahawk, Zeus. You just have a normal variation in alpha acid levels. Adjust as needed and you should be good to go.

Very very similar to Columbus. I just got 8oz in today. They have a wonderful flavor and aroma. Check out the Widmer website, and see what they say about them.

CTZ - Columbus, Tomahawk, Zeus. Just different names for the same hop grown on different farms.
