I recently was given a batch of home grown Mt. Hood Hops. It's in leaf form and I'm guessing I only have around 1oz?
My question is I'm getting ready to brew a 5-gallon batch of IPA. My current recipe calls for Amarillo and Citra. I'm thinking about tossing in the Mt. Hood hops just for fun but I'm wondering what kind of affect it could have to by beer. I understand Mt. Hood is an German offshoot mainly used in German beers and lagers. However Mt. Hood IS classified as an aroma hop and some breweries use it in IPAs or pale ales.
What would you guys do with the 1oz of Mt. Hood? It's only 1oz so it likely will have little effect anyway right? I'm thinking about just tossing it in at either 5-minutes left in the boil or flame out. What do you guys think?
