Anyone have this recipe?

Here is a place to start

 

Can You Brew it Little Sumpin':https://thebrewingne...k.com/shows/705

 

Lagunitas Description of Little Sumpin' Wild:

A higher gravity seasonal version of the year-round Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale. It’s made with Westmalle Trappist yeast that creates those curious phenolic off-flavors that are freakin’ everyone out these days. Massively dosed with boatloads of wheat and pale malt and finishes with a big, hoppy ending.

Somebody school me here. Why? This seems highly unnecessary from the perspective of a home brewer, no?

I'd tend to agree.  it's a rare case where I use more than one type of hop for a 60-90 min addition.

I agree, I would just go with one bittering hop.

For me it is only when I want a slight rough edge to the bittering and will mix in maybe 25% of something like Chinook with a more smoother hop like magnum or Apollo

that would be the one case where I've done this.

I mean to be honest I have no idea what flavors Nugget and Summit are going to leave behind after 90 min. So maybe there is something there. But 2g of clean Horizon @90 min? Really?

Yeah me too.

 

We've talked about this before, but yeah, same mix here too. Chinook has a very definable signature when used for bittering.

I have an IPA (more like a bitter pale ale since I didn't bother to dry hop the second keg of it) I bittered with chinook.  it def has that going on.  at first I didn't really like it but it's kind of grown on me as I work my way through the keg.  strange how that works.

I have noticed they do a similar hopping on a few of their other beers.  Censored for examples uses 86% Willamette and 14% Horizon at 60.  I guess it is just their thing, similar to high mash temperatures.

I'd brew it just like the recipe the first time...and I probably will brew it before too long.  How do you know something can or should be changed without a baseline to compare it to?

agreed, or as close to it as your system and process will accomodate

I also brew it the way the recipe states the first time before making changes but I think the suggestion that a hop blend for bittering is not going to have a huge difference on the final product is a valid one.  Especially a beer that has a big dry hop.  If I did not have Nugget or Summit I would not have any heartburn about just making the appropriate addition of Magnum and call it good.

[positiveContact]

the main reason not to do it is it's extra hops.  I tend to buy 1lb at a time.  it might make a difference though - who knows!

[neddles]

I am not brewing it. I guess I was just trying to tap the collective experience here on wether or not a complicated 90 min bittering addition was something that would be noticed. I hear a lot of keep it simple advice so I guess I was trying to see if the complexity here was worth the trouble. If I were to brew it I don't think I would go out of my way to acquire 2g each of Summit and Horizon if I didn't already have them. But I could be convinced otherwise if someone can explain that it matters and why.
