thinking of using one of these hops for a single hop brew
Citra, Centennial, Chinook, Cascade, Columbus
also Amarillo
what do you all think on these
 
They are all great hops but I personally would be swayed towards Amarillo.

The resultant aroma is of medium strength and very distinct.
The aroma is described as flowery, spicy and citrus-like with a distinct orange bouquet.
The hop is good for flavor and aromaIt can also be used for bittering effectively because of the low cohumulone content.

All great hops, in terms of a single hop brew I personally would do either centennial, cascade or Amarillo. The Greg Hughes single hop Amarillo recipe is highly regarded

Aye, conversely Columbus tends to be used as a bittering hop
 
I did a Chinook brew with challenger at 60 mins and the rest all chinook,went down very well:thumb:
 
I would go the Chinook route, only because I make it about once a month, and itS my goto beer recipe
 
I've done a stout using Amarillo and second batch is fermenting as we speak.Loved it so much I'm going to perfect it as my house stout.

thanks for that @robin54 I could double that to get a 23ltr batch

My recipe will give you 10L post boil.
To make 23L you will need after sparging at least30 L - don't forget the boil off and how much your grain will absorb.
why don't you try 10L first - and when you have the hang of that go bigger.
PS I sparge using the grain bag in a sieve and gently tipping hot water over. You can sparge into anything even your FV
 
Cascade is my favourite on your list, in fact I like it so much I now grow it :)

Also a fan of Amarillo, enough of a difference to the other zingy hops.

Not a fan of Columbus, find it too harsh.
 
I've done a single-hopper with Centennial and that was an absolute belter. Would make again but apart from Chez Gunge stout I never make a recipe twice... some anomaly in my psyche. Also done one with my homegrown First Gold - another cracker and which exceeded my expectations tbh.
