Ok well they are on the way from Germany right now.

When I use them I will make a thread in the Ingredients section.

I never heard of Hallertau Amarillo, but I've used Styrian Wolf and Styrian Dragon ( 105/220 ) and they are pretty underwhelming. I mean, they are fruity on their own, but not like US or AUS/NZ hops.

I would however brew smash beers with these hops, to really know what kind of aroma and flavour they provide.

 

[Mer-man]

Yeah, allegedly someone licensed it and is growing it.

My plan is a standard IPA bittered with Chinook but with the relevant hop at 30, whirlpool, and dry hop.

Cool. Amarillo goes well with Chinook, even when 50/50. I like it anyway.

If you are planning on brewing smash beers, skip the bittering addition with Chinook and go all single hop. Add maybe a little at 30 minutes and start hopping for real in the last 15 minutes + whirlpool. That will get you the bitterness you want and lots of aroma and flavour.

If you mixing the hops, I would use Chinook in there, as it plays well with Amarillo and it's an overall, great hop, which balances nicely those fruity flavours.

Cheers!

I use hop extract for bittering addition in hop testing beers. I’m mostly interested what the new hops bring to the table as very late or whirlpool additions. Actually I use those hop shots for reliable bitterness in most of my beers.

Tomorrow I'm brewing a light IPA of 88% Weyermann Pale Ale, 10% Weyermann light wheat, and 2% Weyermann CaraRed.

Hitting 20-ish liters with CTZ for bittering and then 53g Hallertau Amarillo at 15, 60g at 20min hopstand, and 60g dry hop.

Interested to see what the hallertau Amarillo is like.

 

[Mer-man]

It's pretty good

How would you compare it to regular Amarillo?

It's been so long since I had any that I don't think I can judge that.

Definitely peach and orange. I guess the peach came in from the 2 day dry hop.

Mistral is spunding on dry hops now
