I just got a lb of Sabro and I know some of ya have used it in small doses. I usually hop at around 2 oz/gal in my NeIPAs. I have Ella, Vic Secret, Galaxy, Citra, and Mosaic (all 2019). What combo would you all use with Sabro?
Depends on how they smell. Open and smell each bag before you decide or take anyone’s advice. Hops can be all over the map especially Mosaic.
Ella is really cool. Don’t use it hotside but the character cold side is cool. Really bright “refreshing” tropical. No dank or pungent notes.
Vic Secret is very pungent...pineapple and pine forward. I’ve never gotten “strawberry” nor seen that as a description. I’ve heard people say Eucalyptus quite a bit. Again minimal usage on the hotside.
Galaxy is crazy powerful, but I might say Sabro is even more so.
Galaxy/Vic Secret and a bit of Sabro maybe.
Don’t dry hop during fermentation with any Australian Hop. It so easy to get never ending hop burn. The hops are so tropical and fruity on their own. I find Galaxy is best around 58-60 DH temp. Way less weird flavors and straight candied passion fruit.
