Hi all, I've brewed ~50 batches and I feel like I've tried a large variety of hops but often I can't tell subtle differences between hop varieties. In the spirit of saving money and buying in bulk, I'm looking to consolidate my hops inventory and only keep 5 varieties on hand for all my brews. I brew almost every style across the BJCP categories so this is an even more challenging task. Here's what I'm thinking (1 lb bags each):
Any thoughts?
- Magnum - bittering for lagers and European styles in general
- Hallertau (vs tettnang? Saaz?) variety for lager/Euro flavor and aroma
- Fuggles or Kent Goldings for British styles
- CTZ for bittering hoppy styles
- Mosaic for bittering/flavor/aroma in hoppy styles
Any thoughts?
