This was 2016, I think? it was sitting in the bottom of the chest freezer from that 47 hops "trust us we aren't going out of business" going out of business sale. I had a bad experience with some Mandarina or Azacca from them. I wasn't expecting much to be honest here. I had 2 beers many years ago (2013?) from Brewmaster Jack when Huell and Mandarina first came out and both were exactly as described, so maybe it is a homebrew vs commercial problem.
@Dgallo This was 8 oz in ~4.5g (ferment in corny) 0.5 @40, .05 @15, 1@5, 1@flameout, 2@160, 3 dryhop 3 days @ 64deg. 7.5%AA, 36 IBUs
I prefer the slightly warmer dry hop than has been discussed, even at the occasional expense of creep, though in this case I hit my target of 1.010.
I was trying to use up some malt as well on this one as well, and pitched it on a yeast cake from a marzen. Time was the only real expense on this one.
fermented 2 weeks starting at 52 then ramping up end of second week to 63. added dry hops on 12/4.
It lagered at 32 for about a week or so, then sat at keezer temp (38) for a couple weeks. brewed mid/late November. It initially had an overwhelmingly grassy aroma, but taste was alright. I didnt fine this one, but it has gotten much clearer in the past two weeks. as it has cleared it has gotten much better, so perhaps the grassy was related. the grass is still there, but it's almost pleasant now. I would do this grain bill again for sure, but not this hop.
