I have a lot of hops of unknown variety and I want to brew a beer that will show me what their flavour profile is. These are locally-grown hops received directly from the grower. He tells me that they are not particularly aromatic so would be more suited to bittering.
I’m making the assumption that a hop-forward beer will show me what these hops can do, but if we know from the start that aroma is not their strength, I’m thinking I should avoid IPAs. An English bitter? What would you suggest I brew?I’m still relatively new to home brewing but have advanced to using all-grain recipes only. I don’t have the right setup to do lagers.
