I was listening to an old episode of the podcast Basic Brewing Radio, from May 2006 about hop varieties and they suggested an interesting experiment. They suggested taking a very bland beer, like Budweiser and uncapping a few bottles and placing different hops into each bottle and then recapping. You are basically dry hopping it. After a week or so, you can sample each one to get an idea of how the hops changed the beer and be able to compare the aroma and flavor of the different hops you choose against one another. This seems like a fairly simple way to try a number of different hops under somewhat controlled circumstances.
Has anybody tired this?
and if so..
What procedure did you use? i.e. what type of beer and hops did you choose, how much hops, aged for how long etc. etc.
