Pliny the Elder Dry Hopping

you should give sweetwater ipa a try i love simcoe. I am sipping on a sample i took at bottling of a APA hopped with simcoe, cascade and chinook. Tastes amazing.

 

Perhaps the same people that taste mango in Simcoe don't taste cat pee in Nelson?

 

Not sure if there is a clear correlation between Simcoe mango people and the Nelson no cat pee people. Oldsock tastes mango in Simcoe and admittedly gets cat pee from Nelson. Nevertheless, he uses Nelson in insane quantities because I guess he likes cat pee and box wine quality white grapes in his beer?

The oblivious, Google savvy Nelson connoisseur tastes gooseberry from Nelson despite never eating a gooseberry. I've tasted gooseberry and consider it a relevant descriptor for Nelson.

I understand you are a fan of Nelson and I can only assume you don't smell cat piss from it. Most people can't. It's a beer gift. Embrace it.

 

Crushed Cape Gooseberry.

 

I remember brewing a Citra IPA several years ago that was cat pee right out the gate, but totally different and delicious 3 weeks later. Timing is everything sometimes...the bell shaped curve of IPA hop flavor/aroma has a BEGINNING and an end, IMHO.

 

Wørd.

... especially if you enjoy savoring the highly refined and refreshing taste of a top quality furniture polish.

 

The only connection was that you pickup on different flavors/aromas than at least a small portion of the community on these two hops

Roger that.

Thanks for posting that link; some interesting discussion there in particular:

“I dry-hop at fermentation temps, and I routinely get hop haze from it. To me, it seems related more to the amount of hops more than anything else. Once you go over 0.5oz/gallon you're almost sure to see some.”

“That is my normal procedure and yes, I get some haze and it is proportional to the quantity as you mentioned. The haze I got when dry hopping cold was a whole different animal. Almost milky, cloudier than the cloudiest wit I have ever had.”

This makes me wonder if this could be the reason for why beers like Trillium and Tree House are so murky; do those breweries dry hop cold?

Cheers!

 

Have to second this. Unless you plan on sharing significant portion, 2.5 gallons is a great size for personal consumption. You have to deal with the extra step of scaling the ingredients from most recipes, sure, but it's really only a few minutes of basic math... I share many pours with my roommate and girlfriend and am ready to move on to the next batch when I approach the last half or quarter gallon. It allows me to brew around once a month without stockpiling massive quantities of homebrew
