Question for you guys that have used this hop. I’ve been wanting to try and do a small batch SMaSH just using this hop. Does anyone think this is feasible or is it just to potent?
My goal is aiming for a more “west coast” styled IPA. I also want to do the same using mosaic to compare the hops. At this point it sounds like the Idaho7 might not be very drinkable.
I didn’t do SMASH but did single hop. Did not overpower, was great.
