Anybody use Magnum? If so, how well does it go with Hallertau and Saaz?
Love me some Nobles!

I also hear that Torpedo by SN is 100% Magnum
Personally I dig them for bittering but not for flavor & aroma additions since they don't really bring much to the table.
To the detriment of the flavor profile IMHO....but it's still a mighty tasty beer. Personally I dig them for bittering but not for flavor & aroma additions since they don't really bring much to the table.
For no reason other than economy of usage, every brewer should have an ample supply of a high-alpha bittering hop on hand. Galena, Nugget, Magnum. A little goes a long way, and you can use it to bitter just about anything.
I'm putting together a Hops Direct order. They have German Magnum for $18.50/lb and American Magnum for $24.00/lb. It's hard to say what alpha acids I'll get without calling first, but they look to be in the same range. Is there a preference and why?For no reason other than economy of usage, every brewer should have an ample supply of a high-alpha bittering hop on hand. Galena, Nugget, Magnum.

Lately, other than some high AA US Saaz, Magnum is all I use for bittering. I'm gonna order a pound of Magnum soon.
Where did you get high AA Saaz
