From Hops: CBB 270 - sapwood

• Hops dry hopped at a lower ph have a generic hoppines but using more potent hops like Nelson or riwaka can stand up to it more
• Dry hop sub 40 degrees F (they started warmer but studies show warmer pulls out stuff like myrcene)

From Hops: Favorite hop combos:

• Riwaka + Rakau (50/50)
• Citra + Nelson

From Hops: Hop Notes

• Rakau: Just okay on its own, works well in blends, especially with NZ hops, lays a solid foundation
• Riwaka: Low threshold; 20% or 50% gives similar flavor impact, Using more (30–50%) makes it feel more fruity and less dominant

From Hop combos: NZ

• Nelson/Riwaka/Mosaic/Simcoe cryo Was a fun one
• Mosaic simcoe only in w.pool
• Dry hop was even split (4.4lb/bbl so 1.2lb/bbl each)
• Peacharine + Riwaka is his favorite blend — they balance each other out well since they’re opposites.
