so have there been any tests on WP vs flameout hopping?  should I be doing both? one or the other?  either?

[neddles]

I dont know about tests or not. I'd pick one and roll with it.

Eta: I use whirlpool only for bold american hop flavor because it has worked for me every time.

So I'm thinking something like this:

 

2 oz columbus @ 30 min

(3 oz total) 1 oz each of cent, simcoe, amarillo at flameout

(5 oz total) 2 oz each of cent and simcoe and 1 oz of amarillo whirlpool

 

I'll dry hop with a something like 3 oz of cent and 2 oz of simcoe per 5 gal keg.

 

another option: replace all of the simcoe above with mosaic.

[neddles]

yes

[positiveContact]

yes

 

it's possible I'll run out of mosaic so I may need to adjust slightly.

Buy more Mosaic.

[HVB]

Buy more Mosaic.

or just use Simcoe

[positiveContact]

no!

 

why no to that?  not disagreeing - just trying to learn.

I just like Simcoe more than Mosaic.  I like them both just Simcoe gets the edge for me.  I see Cent, Simcoe and Amarillo as a classic combo.  Now, if you add Mosaic to that, I am all for it

I can get that.  I can always save the mosaic for yet another hoppy beer

Of course!!

Do you enjoy Mosaic or just hate it less than Simcoe?

would it be crazy to add a tiny bit of midnight wheat to this to darken it ever so slightly?

 

2 oz would get me to 9.4 SRM vs 5-6 SRM.  I just usually think of an ESB as being kind of orange/red colored.

I decided to do this for the hops.  I'll decide on the dry hop later.  I figure with only a little simcoe in here I could dry hop one keg with some simcoe+cent+amarillo and the other with mosaic+cent+amarillo.

 

2 oz columbus @ 30 min

(3 oz total) 1 oz each of cent, simcoe, amarillo at flameout

(5 oz total) 2 oz each of cent and mosiac and 1 oz of amarillo whirlpool
