Hello forum,
I'm wondering if any people here have experimented with using less expensive hops on the hotside of the brewing process... Chinook, columbus, centennial, cascade etc.. while keeping the expensive pungent hops like Mosaic, Citra, Galaxy etc exclusively for dry hopping.
I know Trillium claims to use Columbus hot side only and the guys at Sapwood cellars seems to have concluded this works very good.
Me myself have had mixed results and I'm not totally convinced we can cheat on the hotside.
My best and most flavorfull beers till this date all had at least some or all pungent hops on the hotside/whirlpool.
Replacing them completely hasnt been satisfactory, replacing them by half worked better.
I haven't had the chance to brew a side by side yet.
Cheers
