Hops
mash hops
CBB 386 Fidens, Sapwood, and North Park - Janish mash hops 2lbs in 10bbls just to get iron content down (for oxidation)
Thiols - R: Done a bunch of brews with mash hopping combined with Thiolized yeast and the results are fascinating....
- Saaz mash hop at a rate of 5kg/25hL batch resulted in a beer bursting with grapefruit notes,
- Cascade mash hop at the same rate (in essentially the same malt and kettle hop profile) was bursting with guava notes.
Hop saturation point
R - The general wisdom seems to be the higher the abv the more you can saturate the beer with hops. We’ve got great results at 5-6g/L on a 5% beer but we’re at 8g/L IPAs and pretty much double that for DIPA’s.
Hop Notes
- El Dorado is good “base” hop, NZ Is good for top note (CBB - Firestone)
- Bravo Hops (Brulosophy Hop Chronicles)
- I couldn’t agree more with the results from blind participants, Bravo imparted a deliciously pungent citrus flavor balanced nicely by notes of tropical fruit and a hint of floral character that I think would work just as beautifully in a liberally hopped IPA as it would a less aggressive Amber Ale or Saison. And on top of all that, the bitterness quality was smooth and enjoyable. Bravo is an absolute winner in my book
Survivables
Reverse Engineering Cryo Pop
(TRI-2304CR) Blend (thirdleap brewing) TL;DR: A blend of 46% Idaho 7 / 25% Citra / 24% Loral / 5% Talus is closest to TRI-2304CR while a blend of 65% Idaho 7 / 33% Mosaic / 2% Citra maximizes each “survivable” compound level.
