From Hop combos
- 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.
From Hops
- 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)
- Riwaka + Rakau (50/50)
- Citra + Nelson
- 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
