I use Liberty in my Mexican lagers...subtle, smooth.

Try Teamaker, .5% AA. I have been using it for dry hopping. Lots of hop aroma with no significant bitterness

I have a decent supply of dried whole Teamaker Hops (maybe a couple pounds) from a friend that had 4 year old plants! And a copy of the Lab Analysis report from this year’s harvest showing the actual Alpha & Betta Acid levels and essential oil content! Unfortunately he just sold his hop farm to someone out of State, so what I have squirreled away might be all for me unless I can make a deal with the new farmer IF he keeps the Teamaker Hops going.

Anyway, the original farmer challenged me to brew a drinkable beer using Teamaker Hops!

I just finished my 2nd beer type

I’ve brewed a Cream Ale and a Milk Stout using his dried whole Teamaker Hops! Both came out pretty good!

In an Internet search I found a small list of Beers that were supposedly able to be made well with Teamaker Hops.

The two I made were on that list.

I also made 15gallons of Teamaker Hop Tea! That was a big hit when done right’

I just brewed a batch with Cluster for bittering and Willamette for aroma. Very drinkable for even the non hop loving wife.

Have you ever tried Teamaker Hops for flavor?

They won’t bitter, but add a nice flavor when done right.

Never heard of this and will have to look it up. Sounds surprisingly mild.

Have you tried Teamaker Hops yet?

Saaz/Crystal with a touch of Citra or Lemon Drop at the end.
