I love using Idaho 7 in the whirlpool, but find it’s a relatively mediocre dry hop. I was thinking about using it for bittering since it’s around 13-14% alpha, which would justify buying a pound at a time. Currently Summit is my bittering hop of choice which I love, but I don’t use it anywhere else and wanted to streamline my hop choices.

Before we start, I don’t need other suggestions for bittering hops. Summit is great, I just want to know others experiences with Idaho 7 specifically.
