Sorry for the long delay.
Things have gotten busy and the fermenters have been sitting empty for a
while. But it's spring and it's time to
start planning to resume operations.
First up, fresh hops
With the 3 cultivars planted today, our total is 4 varieties
and 11 plans: (Hop Profiles from
http://www.homebrewstuff.com/hop-profiles)
Flowery, citrus & spice with grapefruit the noticeable
fragrance quite often. This medium aroma balances the low bittering value.
Derived from a cross between fuggles and the Russian hop Serebrianker. Very
popular hop among craft brewers.
Used For: Good for flavor and aroma, but an acceptable
bittering hop. Pale Ales, IPAs, Porters
Substitutes: Amarillo, Centennial, Ahtanum
3 Mount Hood (all new)
Hybrid of Hallertau with similar mild flower/spice aroma
characteristics with a hint more of the forest. “Clean” commonly describes it,
with similarities to the German Hallertau and Hersbrucker varieties
Used For: Aroma and flavor. American and German ales and
lagers.
Substitutes: German Hallertau, Liberty, Crystal.
1 Glacier (there was only 1 left when we ordered, but look
for more additions next year) (new)
Use For: American ale or ESB
Substitutes: Palisade
Strong heavy and herbal, spicy aroma and high bittering
value (along with desirable growing traits) has brought this hop variety to the
forefront of the industry. Selected from
a cross between Brewer's Gold and a high alpha male.
Used For: Extremely bitter. All Ales, Stouts
Subs: Chinook, Galena, Cluster
Rhyzomes added:
2 more Cascade (+ 3 Previous)
4-7% All purpose
5-8% Finishing
5-6% Finishing
Pleasant aroma of citrus mixed with sweet fruity of pear or
apricot. Aroma seems to be the strong
suit of this hop.
2 Nugget (previous)
11-16% All Purpose
