Originally posted by HornyDevil Ah, OK. So it seems the consensus so far is either 1) split at 0 and do a late hop and dry hop with the single hop selections or 2) finish with a decent shot of cascade at 0 min and then dry hop individual mini-batches |
Originally posted by mkgrenwel 1 is definitely the way to go, rather than 2. The whole point of single hop beers is to get a good picture of exactly what character a hop adds to your beer. Adding another hop just clouds things. Partly because it will be really hard to isolate ALL the aromas that the cascade (or whatever) is contributing, but also because some hops will pair better with cascade (or whatever) than others, and this will make it difficult to work out what you like about each hop. Using more than one hop might make a nicer beer, but that’s not really what you’re going for. If you’re going to the bother of making 5 1 gallon single hop beers, at least make them single hop. |
