So I was mashing my grain for what was supposed to be another oaked arrogant bastard clone brew. I checked my inventory file and it said I had 4.5oz of chinook in my freezer. Guess what... no chinook. I just brewed a simcoe/warrior/cascade IPA yesterday so I didn't want to use those hops on another brew. I thought about using some of these EKG or Tett hops I have, but they aren't really US IPA hops. As I was digging, I found this unmarked bag of hops. IDK what the hell it was... smelled good... possibly cascade? Anyways... I decided it would be fun to make MYSTERY BEER! I'm actually thinking about making a complete mystery beer where I have my wife mix and match a small batch of grains, she can pick up some random hops, etc. Anyways so I ended up just using the mystery hops for bittering. I had 2.5oz.... went 1@90, 1@60, and .5@45. The rest was (a crap load of) Cascade for big aroma.
Man... I think im gonna talk to my homebrew club about doing mystery brew. Everyone sets aside 10# 2 row, and we randomly draw a mystery bag of specialty grain. We can do the same thing for hops...people set aside random hops and we pick from the pile. Add as you see fit! HAHAH!
