From Hops: Misc:

• Zappa Hop Tips: (from CLS farms)
  • Kettle: Maximize on herbal and spice qualities.
  • Whirlpool: Introduce the wider and multifaceted aromas of Zappa.
  • Dry Hop: Elicit the hop’s more tropical notes of passion fruit and mango, grape, or fruity pebbles.​​
  • Complementary Hops: Dependent on which part of the aromatic spectrum you want to focus on. Maximize Zappa®’s tropical notes by combining with El Dorado®, Mosaic or Strata; for red fruits and berries look to Cashmere or Idaho Gem; for citrus a combination of Centennial, Cascade, and Chinook would play well.
• Sabro
  • CBB 340 - Calusa uses Sabro at about 20% to keep it dialed back (also Sabro has mouthfeel)
  • We found that Talus gives a lot more coconut taste is used in the whirlpool vs dry hop, I assume Sabro is the same

From Hops: Bitterness

• Mid boil - chinook, strata, have nice complicated bitterness

From Hops: Unusual hops

• Don’t sleep on Idaho Gem. Idaho gem and strata, that is a combo made in heaven and then you get a better idea what gem is like.  I always go heavy Idaho gem so I’d say 60-40. whirlpool: it also has a good amount of survivable flavors/aromas similar to Idaho 7

From Hops: CBB 84 Hop Butcher for the World

• One combo they tried that they really liked recently is Amarillo, Strata, and Galaxy.

From Hop Oils: YEAST BIOTRANSFORMATION—Escarpment / Uberbrew wheat
