New Hop - “Fresh tropical citrus, with a hint of wafting joint smoke from around the"

[Steelers77]

New experimental from Indie Hops - x331

Smells as described, crazy amount of dank in this thing!

Sounds Interesting

Sounds disgusting. Last thing I would ever want is my beer to taste and smell like pot. Some weird crap really going on in brewing nowadays. ��

So you don't like Columbus then, I guess?

 

[akthor]

I grew up in a house of smokers I've never wanted to smoke anything my entire life including marijuana. I think it smells as bad as cigarettes.

I have nothing against other who like it. All my friends do.

 

[DU99]

marijuana is related to beer hops

The genus Cannabis was formerly placed in the Nettle (Urticaceae) or Mulberry (Moraceae) family, and later, along with the Humulus genus (hops)

That's funny because all the most popular hop varieties are very similar in character to high quality cannabis. Citra, Galaxy, Amarillo, Simcoe, etc.

Let me check my inventory.... Nope. Over 30 pouches of different hops and I don't have these.

Cool! Thanks for the heads-up, Farmhouse. Cheers!

Bong water?

I ordered some but its no surprise. We've been doing alot of terpene break downs with both hops and marijuana in our lab and have found that with only the taste and aroma of each, you can't tell them apart at all. Many strains of both marijuana and hops share high terpenes of Myrcene and Humulene.

Depends on what type of pot you get. I was at a park once on a super nice October day like 2 years ago, and when the breeze blew you would get a whiff of amazingly floral, clean smelling pot smoke. It was just dank enough that you knew it was pot, but it smelled like jasmine, flowers, strawberries, something super sweet and light and fragrant. It's weird to talk about weed in this way but it was the best smelling weed Ive ever smelled.

There was a group of high school kids on a bench in the direction it was coming from and I almost wanted to go ask for a hit but Im like 10 years older and dont want to get arrested. But damn if it wasnt the best smelling pot I've ever smelled. I know what that Jimi Hendrix song is about now.

If marijuana ever gets legalized Im gonna start up a "craft pot" scene.

Hints of orange zest, vanilla, with a woodsy finish and that earthy, dank undertone. Hahaha.

Had to order hops today and saw these and was reminded of this thread. Figured WTH and grabbed 4oz to mess around with. We'll see how it goes [emoji2]

Did you smoke them all?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Very funny Chef.

"It’s a very “clean” hop, without the tendency that many potent hops have to throw diesel oil/machine oil notes, or extreme “BO” or “cattiness”."
I love diesel oil aromas in my hops, though. Wtf?! Never heard/read anything like this statement....

Man I'm getting the munchies!!!!! Can't wait to shotgun some of those babies!!!

Amarillo are actually notorious for this diesel aroma, I didn't believe it either until I started selling tons of hops. You can get it in Summit and a few other high AA American hops

 

[KeyWestBrewing]

Diesel as in... sour diesel? Sorry I couldn't pass that up lol.

 

[Steelers77]

Back in stock.

 

[KeyWestBrewing]

Got around to brewing with this hop and I think people are going to like this variety. Citrusy, earthy, mildly floral, not too sharp or green. Not overly "juicy" but complex and balanced. Very Northwest type hop character that'd go great in APAs/IPAs/Ambers/Cali Common/Blondes/etc...

Thanks for the feedback KeyWest

I agree with the above (as far as I've taken this batch so far, anyway... )

Got a 5gal DIPA going using a full pound of the X331 hops, just now ready to keg. I think it's gonna be a winner,

Wow, that's a heck of a recipe. Do you always do 2 hour boils?

I'm still pretty primitive in process, very simple stovetop BIAB, no sparge. When I do a fairly high gravity batch, I use more water in the mash to retain good efficiency, thus I have more to boil off. Plus I recently stopped using my supplemental 120v heatstick (just a bucket heater) while boiling because I think it was scorching the wort and creating an off-flavor, thus making my boils take even longer now.

When will Amarillo be back in stock? I have money I want to give you.
