Cashmere Hops

[OleBrewing]

Not sure why I have never used them before. Purchased a variety of 1# bags of hops from hops direct couple years ago. Looking through them few weeks back noticed I had Cashmere, did some research and thought would make a very nice light summer ale. Used Cashmere for bittering and flavoring no dry hops.

I am impressed with the aromatics, smooth bitterness, and taste of these hops using the clean strain of BRY-97 yeast.

A more pronounced flavor than Cascade but not the same.

I am enjoying the 3 week old, semi carbed, total of 3 1/2 oz in 10 gallon batch of hop goodness (note: these hops are several years old stored vacuumed sealed in freezer).

Not being a hop head I do enjoy them when they meld well with the malt bill...thinking of Summit EPA

I've never had the pleasure and frankly know nothing about Cashmere, but the Beer Maverick Hop Comparison tool does Along with Cascade, Centennial has some shared character, but I would think there are even closer plots out there...

Cheers!

Cashmere .
I just bottled my batch for my homebrew club's ingredient draft. I used cashmere and it came out great.

It plays extremely well with Elani and/or Nelson, if you’re planning a fruit bomb.

@day_trippr nice chart. wasn't trying to directly compare Cashmere with Cascade directly. They Do in the front end speak like cascade, the back end finish as the chart shows. Not very good at descriptive words as people look at me funny when I say watermelon tastes like cucumber.

Cashmere is a very nice hop although I could say it might be overpowering if used to much in the wrong spot for flavoring.

I get a light pineapple from cashmere. I use it mostly in single hop SMASH like beers.

Did a cashmere/sabro pale ale a while back for a pina colada like flavor, not sure it worked but was drinkable(did not get the coconut from sabro).

I brew an IPA with Comet, Citra and Cashmere, it was originally just done to use up some open hop packages but have rebrewed it a few time since.
