    American IPA Single Hop Vic Secret IPA

    I hear you there, I poured 10 gal at an event this past weekend and now my keezer is bone dry. Got a red ipa planned for this weekend and then probably this recipe with the 1/2lb of Sabro hops I picked up. The hops and yeast were both new to me, but I think the yeast was the real key to how...

    American Pale Ale Enigma Wrapped in A Pale Ale

    While not technically a single hop pale ale, I used a 3ml hopshot @60 to bitter and then exclusively Enigma hops after that. The Enigma hops came through as non-specific citrus and I would occasionally get some green pepper as well. This beer won 2nd place in the American Pale Ale (18b) category...

    American IPA Single Hop Vic Secret IPA

    Grabbed 8oz of Vic Secret from Yakima Valley, I've been wanting to try them out in a brew for a while. Decided on a single hop IPA. Paired with the OYL-200 yeast, this thing was a tropical bomb from the first signs of fermentation and it carried through to the finished beer. This was crazy good...

    OMEGA Tropical IPA

    I brewed a vic secret ipa using this yeast, fermented at 75 (nervous to go higher) huge tropical aromas all throughout the fermentation. Just racked to keg and it smelled of ripe mango, great nose on it. Sample tasted really good (as far as samples go). It did ferment down to 1.006 but didn't...
