Beerlust Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 I saw a recent press release from the Streets ice-cream company. It read something along the lines of... "We understand there is a hop used in brewing that also has the name "Magnum". We wish to assure our customers that this hop is in no way used in the production of our ice-cream lines, & the naming of this ice-cream line is meant to signify a premium level of ice-cream, not a bland, boring, listless, almost non-existent flavour as is well known to be associated with the brewing hop with the same name." Thank you Streets. Cheers, Lusty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark D Pirate Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Meh, I use magnum for times when I just want clean, smooth bitterness. Almost like that's exactly why many other brewers use it , might be bland but there are times when I don't want hop presence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Lao Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Using it for the first time in a Citra Pale Ale that’s in the FV now. Anyway, if hops are used for bittering is there meant to be any flavour left ( that’s a serious question BTW)? Cheers James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like using Brooklyn / Moutere in a session beer and even with just a single addition at 40 mins to 35 ibu it still has hop presence 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Yes I bitter pilsners with Saaz for that reason, not as nice with Magnum. This Vic Secret pale that I'm drinking currently had a small bittering addition of Magnum at 60 and is delicious though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers James I have previously used pacifica for bittering and I really enjoyed the herbal peppery properties it holds in the glass. Style dependant though.

Scottie Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I've also got to thanks Lusty for the Link. In my brewing comeback I have bittered my brews with Amarillo then Cascade. All the time I was thinking "I didn't do Single Hop brews in the past did I". Then along comes Lusty to remind me of my former go to bittering hop. Lusty I am forever Grateful. Please keep a close eye on my recipes and let me know if I'm forgetting something else. Cheers 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only discovered when a stocktake of the brewery was performed & a large unused quantity of Magnum was found in a back storage area. Ironically the head tasters at the brewery never picked up on the missing Magnum when sampling the batch, & no customer complaints have been received. Cheers, Lusty. That is gold, pure gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerlust Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 Q: What is the best possible thing that can happen to a person who religiously uses Magnum for bittering? A: Dementia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panther Branch Brewing Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Most frequently recommended use for Magnum seems to be bittering. I don't think I've ever seen it recommended for flavor or aroma. It's cheap and a little goes a LONG way when bittering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a plethora of high alpha hops that can be used the same way, but have other notable characteristics that can be used in other aspects of hopping beer. Tallahassee 'Double Tap'. Make that a triple. Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) And yet people enjoy the beers they brew with it. Personally I've done both methods with APA beers, which are about the only beers I use it in other than stouts or porters which I don't want hop flavour in anyway. I couldn't tell any difference because the late hopping dominates anyway. I did notice a difference in pilsners using it for bittering instead of Saaz like I usually do.
