Hi,
I was just wondering what your favorite bittering hop for IPAs is?
Thanks for the input!
I like Magnum, high alpha, inexpensive, and not a lot of distinctive flavor outside the alpha acids, so bumping an even ounce measurement up later in the boil to adjust the IBUs won't significantly change the flavor.
Warrior. Lately been using hop shots in apa and may try them in IPA.
I haven't brewed with Warrior. How much flavor other than the bitterness does it add to the beer with later additions?

Pacific Gem is my go to bittering hop. Cheap, high alpha and was what I first used and have since.

Dude, I use that in my IPAs its got such a great tangy blackberry character. Dont waste it....
I like magnum, seems to be the "cleanest" and cheapest option, but I also like Apollo since its got some good orange/resiny aroma qualities to it as well
After lots of experimentation (Magnum, Nugget, Columbus, lots of Columbus, Centennial, Warrior, etc.) I have decided that I like Chinook for bittering. Some say they don't like the "sharp" bittering it provides, but that's exactly what I like.
I use Summit. To be honest it really doesn't matter for a bittering addition as long as it's relatively high AA so you don't have to use a cartoon of it.
