Discussion of New Hop Varieties

[hawaiibrewer]

There's a couple varieties I've never heard of that just popped up on Yakima Valley Hops in the Domestic Leaf section... J-Lime, Chelan, Otto Supreme.. All new to me at least. Interesting..

I took a chance with the J-lime experimental hops from Yakima and just brewed a pale ale with them. I was worried when I opened the bag and didn't get any citrus aroma. 2oz at 30 min and dry hopped with them(2oz in 5 gal) and couldn't get any lime or citrus aroma or flavor. The remaining 6 oz I have will be used for bittering in my next brew as they fall short of the citrus notes I was looking for....
