Will soon be doing a single hop, all late addition, American pale ale. From the above, what do you all recommend?

That’s a catch-all blend from Hop Union.


So it’s not a hop in it’s own right but a blend of several other hops? If so - does it follow a rigid recipie list of hops in specified proportions or something much looser?

The specific ratios aren’t listed here, but I’m sure you could get an idea with a bit of digging.

Maybe I will do FF if in stock! Never used that blend. Also haven’t used the newest Mosaic crop yet.

I’ve only had it in one beer that I know of and it was the worst beer in my flight.

Would Belma work in a pale ale?

I was not a fan of belma at all. Licorice and herbs. Gross. Just my $0.02
