What ingredients have you used recently that impressed you?

[grathan]

Have you used an ingredient(s) for the first time recently and thought "wow I need to start using that in a lot more of my recipes"?

 

[wtfDean]

I single hopped with Citra for the first time recently and the beer turned out fantastic

 

[Jaybird]

I used this on my last AG beer as a base malt and LOVED it!!!

Cheers
Jay

We also brewed this in the parking lot last month and in the kit we used an essence of Coconut! I fell in love with it! The Coconut is right at the PERFECT level and the chocolate lingers forever...I love it!

Cheers

Galaxy hops! They replaced Citra in my heart.

Id love to see that recipe.

Torrified wheat and Munton's carapils. I replace about 8oz of malted wheat with torrified wheat. Adds a little more body and some additional complexity. The Munton's carapils is about 20L and I've been using that instead of crystal 20L. It's more complex and rich.

 

[mrdauber64]

Citra Hops. Such a refreshing break from the typical Simcoe and Centennial IPA's.

 

[beergolf]

Spelt in a Saison.. great rustic flavor.

 

[histo320]

Simcoe hops. I am probably the last person on this forum to have used Simcoe.

 

[Hello]

Patagonia Caramel 190L will replace other caramel in darker beers and cocoa husks. Nothing new but loved them in the mash.

I've become a huge fan of Apollo hops. Citra and Amarillo move over.
(Although when blended with the other two, you get a bouquet of killer citrusy depth)

Wyeast Bohemian Lager yeast 2124

Such a sharp bite to it Acetylhyde? Nice and crisp, kinda like kolsch yeast. Glad I reused the yeast for a second batch so I'll have more when this one is gone.

 

[JKaranka]

Dark invert sugar. It's just perfect.

 

[kh54s10]

I don't know which or all of the following:

I did a Red X IPA. I used Red X malt, Cherrywood smoked malt. Amarillo, Citra and Simcoe hops none of these have I used before.

I also made a Porter to which I added the liquid from 8 ounces of Papua New Guinea coffee that was cold steeped for a few days. It is awesome. I fear the keg is going to kick soon.

 

[TasunkaWitko]

Fuggle hops - they were like little green pellets filled to the brim with a wonderful autumn day.

 

[Brewmex41]

I go on brewing kicks where I will try and use an ingredient in any recipe I can. Like nelson Sauvin hops, or recently I've been into rye malt big time. Brewed a bunch of rye Ipas and a rye Russian imperial stout. Haven't bottled the rye RIS yet, but can't get enough rye lately. I'll probably find another ingredient soon and try and put it in whatever I can.
