Ok, so the LHBS didn't have centennial hops, so I had to pick something on the fly, so I grabbed summit. Get back home, browse hbt to find out lots of people have gotten onion flavors from summit hops. I've seen several threads about it, but none of them came up with a concrete explanation for the onion flavor. Was it the batch of hops? The way they were used? etc. I even found different threads that came up with explanations that opposed each other. (some said only to use them as bittering, while others said only to use them as late additions.)
Anyway I was wondering if anyone out there has used any Hopunion brand Summit hops this year. Mine have an AA of 16.1. Any chance anyone has used some from this batch and can tell me if they had nasty onion flavors from it?
THANKS!
