I made an American Amber Ale last friday and used almost 3 oz of el dorado in it. They smell fantastic, very fruity, like watermelon candy. I'm excited to see how they come out

Glad to hear how good they smell! For some reason, I have this mental block where I can't escape the thought of just a bit of pine mixed with the El Dorado candy flavor, rich dark English crystal, and a nice Maris Otter base. I'm completely hung up on it so I had better get the ingredients!

How'd you guys get them? They only planted like an acre and half. That's crazy.

I just google searched them and Austin Homebrew and Great Fermentations were selling them. I bought 2-4 oz pkgs of leaf hops. I don't think any pellets were made.

An invention. Im using English base, crystal, and yeast but then using American hops. The beer will also be bigger than an English IPA.

the el dorado sounds really cool i plan on ordering some. I really want to try those hops that were just a number from that article too (HBC369 ?) but i don't think its made its way to home brewers yet.
