Does anyone regularly use Columbus hops outside of 60/90 minute additions for cheap IBUS?
Last weekend I did a dry-hop-some-cheap-bottled-beer tasting and the Cbus bottles definitely got the biggest reaction. It actually smelled amazing- just sort of dank and flat out "hoppy" especially compared to the others (Cascade, Centennial, Glacier, Chinook, and regular boring Black Star).
I've just never used much of it, but have a lb and am considering switching up some of the later additions in my IPA (from cascade/cent) to putting some columbus in there. Thoughts?
