Suggest some hops please.

Braufather · Dec 3, 2021

I normally organise my brews in threes and this time I don’t want to use the same hop twice so am after a suggestion for brew no 3. All brews will be around 5 per cent abv

Brew 1 is a malty American pale with pale, Munich, crystal, hoped with centennial only. Yeast Liberty bell

Brew 2 is a tropical pale, golden promise, carapils and oats hopped with citra mosaic and equanot. Yeast London iii.

Also have another brew on tap with citra and Columbus so that’s Columbus out too

Brew 3 will be a west cost pale/ipa with extra pale and a bit of caramalt, us05 yeast but undecided on hops.

Thinking simcoe, but what else? Amarillo possibly. Anyone got any suggestions? I want all 3 beers to be distinct from each other.

To recap no centinial, citra, mosaic, equanot or Colombus

All suggestions welcome!

Falconers flight,azacca,cashmere or how about waiti..?

Simcoe is great on its own, although looking at the other beers, I'd go with the piney, spice of Chinook. Even better with a dollop of rye in the grist.

ive actually got a rye pale ale planed after these three. Not sure I planned chinook in it though so something to think about.

Summit is a rather maligned hop but gives a fruity taste albeit not as strong as Mosaic and Citra so would make a good Pale/Ale. I use it in my Blondes/APA'sI did a Zeus and Summit Red Rye and it was nice with a piney Bittering and slight fruitiness infact I am going to brew it again but with Columbus instead of Zeus

Braufather · Dec 3, 2021

Hmm, Never tried summit either.

Talus looks nice too. I've just been on the Cross My Loof website having a look at their hop guide...well worth a read! I'm liking the sound of some of the New Zealand hops and their own hop blends.

I've used some of there blends Clint, The Punked I have used 3 or 4 times and is quite good at mimicking a Punk style of beer athumb..

I might try that...also saves buying in lots of different hops and being left with part packets..but then a "user-upper" is always fun to do and they usually work out great.

I used CML the first time this week as I needed some citra for a dry hop. Hopefully it will arrive today.

They're great to deal with!

Braufather · Dec 3, 2021

Punk might be a good shout. So many hops in there but surprising none of those I wish to miss out so would work well.

Mayor of Simpleton · Dec 3, 2021

Sabro either as a single hop or in combo with another hop such as El Dorado would work well I think. I love the coconut that sabro brings along with the tropical. It's unique and a hop I have been experimenting with a lot over the last few months.

I'll second that they are excellent

Amarillo and cascade is a nice combo.
What about amarillo, simcoe and chinook (perhaps chinook for bittering?)?
Or, as others have said, one of the blends like falconer's flight or CML's punk blend

Galena · Dec 3, 2021

Brew 2 would suit Jester I think, or First Gold/Jester combination is nice

I was about to write exactly this when I saw it posted.

Braufather · Dec 3, 2021

Leaning towards pantos suggestion at the moment. simcoe chinook and Amarillo at the moment. Possibly with cascade.

Brew 3, talus hops on their own!!

Slight floral taste with huge juicy pink grapefruit finish.
I put 110g in whirlpool, and 140g dry hop, the aroma and flavour is amazing.Using 05 yeast.

Crossmyloof do a nice 250g bag of talus.
