If you could only have one dry hop...

[Onkel_Udo]

...what would it be? Ignore "style guidelines" and (if necessary) pretend you are brewing only for you. Any style(s) you brew often for yourself.

In the past I would have guessed Cascade but with all of the new (for me) aroma hops going into modern IPA's, I have to wonder. Currently I am using Amarillo because I ordered a pound of it and want to use it whilst fresh. My first experiment is exceptional.

Its a though call between citra and mosaic, but i think if i only had one it would be citra

 

[Snowden]

Citra for me. Last two batches of IPA I have brewed were variations on the same recipe, with both dry hopped with Citra. Mmmm mmmm good!

Centennial, without a doubt. I love the stuff for IPA.

Centennial is my favorite hop for everything, including dry hopping. I'm running an IPA through a randall of 3 oz of Centennial leaf right now and LOVING it.

I'll jump on the bandwagon,
Centennial.
But there is a few out there that I havn't tried yet so it could easily change.

Cluster! An unsung hero in my book!

 

[joshesmusica]

they should make a citra/nelson sauvin combo. or a citra/amarilla/nelson sauvin. that would be my preferred "hop."

 

[badlee]

Citra/Nelson cross breed

 

[Black Island Brewer]

As much as I like the tropical/fruity hops, if I had only one, it would be Centennial. I associate Cascade with my earliest homebrews, so it has some bad memories associated with it. Chinook has a nice piney quality, which I like sometimes, and some of the newer hops have a dank quality I like, but if it was all I could ever have, Centennial.

Can't decide between Cascade and Simcoe.

Another vote for Centennial here. It's a bit like Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way. lol
