Last week I saw that Farmhouse Brewing supply had some experimental hops for sale -- HBC 342. The wheels in my head started churning, so I bought 12oz.
They arrived yesterday, so I drew up a quick pale ale recipe that I'll be brewing here soon:
9lbs 2-row
1lb Munich
12oz C40
.6oz HBC 342 @ 60
1oz HBC 342 @ 10
1.5oz HBC 342 @ 0
1oz HBC 342 Dry Hopped.
WLP007
Has anyone got their hands on this hop yet, and if so what do you think? Here is the HopUnion info on it: http://farmhousebrewingsupply.com/downloads/experimental hops 2011.pdf
Aroma is stated as: mild, pleasant, citrusy and watermelon. Maybe like a higher alpha Ahtanum? Co-humulone is pretty high, so it'll won't replace my bittering hops, but I'm curious what the aroma is like.
