Favorite Hops

[Piratwolf]

Thanks a bunch piratwolf! I had posted questions about an all nugget IPA before but got no replies. I grow nugget and cascade and was going to brew an all nugget to see favor profiles. Do u recall how many oz you used?

No problem.

In a 5 gal batch, with AA of ~13%, I used 1/2 oz at 60 mins, 1/2 oz at 15 min, and 3/4 oz at 1 min for about 45 IBUs. Good stuff!

Chinook is my favorite.

Some other ones that I really like are Simcoe and Willamette. I'm pretty new at brewing so I'm somewhat limited on my hop experience.

I am partial to Northern Brewer, Summit, Citra, Willammette, and Styrian Goldings.

I always have Chinook and cascade around in pellet form. I also grow to have a good supply of whole leaf.

Hallertau, Saaz and Magnum.

In fact, I need to order some...

Just got an email from labelpeelers.com that they've restocked a lot of the hops they were out of... FYI

some hops i find are good and others let me down.

my favs are
1. EKG by far
2. spalt (just one ive gotten used to- like it and know what to expect from it)
3. cascade

ones ive felt let down by are mainly from lack of pungency/strength of flavour
1. williamette
2. amarillo

i know those two are popular so i expected a bit more but they didnt deliver, maybe old stock...

While simcoe, amarillo, citra and centennial are all tasty hops of course, it irks me that 1) they can be very hard to find since they are so popular, and 2) they are becoming ubiquitous in both commercial beers and homebrew. I don't want to be limited to a few hop choices when there are so many good varieties out there.

Some of my new favorite discoveries: Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin, Summit (no onion yet, knock on wood), Pacific Jade, Palisades (nice apricot + herbal/earthy); Also Styrian Goldings (God I could eat those out of the bag!), Fuggles, and some of the earthier hops- mmmm!

I'm also trialing Topaz, Summer and some other obvious choices that I have yet to explore- Chinook, and would love to get my hands on some Riwaka (that one is hard to come by though).

Anyway- 2013- bring on the beerz!

Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, Amarillo, and Galaxy. I've got some Mosaic on the way so we'll see how that goes, I've got high hopes for that hop based on everything I've read.

Nelson sauvin. Times a couple million.

 

[dmashl]

Target or Simcoe bittering, cascade, willamette, E kent goldings, flavor/aroma

 

[baseballsmitty]

Centennial is definitely my favorite, but just did an IPA with summit and I'm really liking it for late additions. Would also have to add Columbus for the great dank quality.
