Description

  • Our Single Hop Experiment series is the perfect way to learn the characteristics of individual hop varietals
  • Includes a small bittering addition of Magnum and three 2 oz additions of your chosen hop for late boil and at dry hopping
  • Estimated ABV: 5%
  • Estimated IBUs: 35
  • Makes 5 gallons of finished beer

We recently had a simple, yet exciting idea: What if we brewed the same recipe, used the same yeast, but changed one thing - the flavor, aroma, and dry hop additions using one hop varietal. That way we could take two beers that are close to identical and pick out the differences in just the hop flavors and aromas! And thus, the Single Hop Experiment was born. This recipe is based off of a simple Pale Ale: 2-Row, Crystal 15L, Magnum bittering hops, and then a single other hop for the rest of the additions. The malt in this recipe is basic and fairly neutral, the bittering clean and consistent, but the flavor and aroma from the late hop additions will vary; sometimes dramatically! Ever wanted to know what your favorite hop really is? Brew a few of these different Single Hop Experiment recipes to find out!

Just Plain Bitter!
Im a huge fan of MoreBeer kits and have only had one other I didnt love. This one was a real miss for me. The outcome was just plain bitter and not in a good way. The bitterness really sticks long after taking a sip. I even put this beer into a secondary on Pineapple Puree for a week. After kegging and carbing is was not enjoyable. Also no Pineapple flavor. I added 2 oz of Pineapple extract. Now its bitter and smells like Pineapple. Im going to let it sit in the keg for a few weeks to see if the bitterness subsides. If you try this kid dial the early addition WAAAAAY back. Cheers, Erik

The Simcoe Single Hop Experiment (All Grain)
This recipe was easy to make and the grain bill let the single hop shine through, Simcoe in this case. I'll definitely be trying some others of your Single Hop Experiment recipes.
