Titan Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 New yearly topic. ADHA Pekko hops, anyone used these? Thinking an IPA with mosaic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Thought it might be nice to see what hops and combinations folks are using and the beer style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Nice topic. I have never tried Pekkos hops but have you asked Bill? Pekkos Bill? I am such a Dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 I suppose the purpose is to document hop combos, style of beer and eventually what the outcome was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_G Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I have tasted some craft beers later usually titled Pacific Pale Ale or something similar that have a very confused flavour profile driven by a strong passionfruit flavour ... anyone know which of the hops give that distinct flavour ... as I wish to avoid using them .... my guess is it is Galaxy or Citra ...

Otto Von Blotto Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I would bet galaxy too. They're just copying Stone and Wood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am of "the less is more" school ... I don't mind galaxy in moderation and love it in combinations with other hops. But agree stone and wood is too much. Might as well have fruit juice. Try it with mosaic though Marty. It's like Fred and ginger it's that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris! Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I used to love stone and wood Pacific ale or whatever, I guess the galaxy was too much and now I avoid it like the plague. I don't mind mixing some galaxy with other hops just not alone in a beer with strong wheat influence. I like juicy beers but my palette is swinging back to more maltier offerings or brews with some nice hops that provide some dankness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozlizard Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Just found out that we have a local organic hops grower who has about 22 different varieties. Just waiting to find out what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He not only has great hops but is a really good bloke. I was trying to tee up a wet hop beer with him this ear but missed my window due to work. Everyone that I’ve heard using their hops always goes back. Im really looking forward to next years crop as he has a type that’s just kinda been brought back from extinction. It’s an amazing hop that only a few growers have in the area but most are growing more each year. Might go down in a few days and pick some up myself.

ozlizard Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Yeah there's another one near Donnybrook. Preston Valley Hops, I think, met the guy at the Balingup Small Field Day. The bloke from SW Hops asked me to drop in this arvo as he was getting a brew going, unfortunately, I couldn't make it but will do so some time for sure. Looking forward to giving them a go with the next brew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Yep Preston valley are really good and have some of that hop too which will be available next year. Looking forward to having a crack at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worthog Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Why is this so? I chux bag my 25g of Dry Hop. Add two very large glass marbles. Tie, connect my fishing line to the chux, drop it in. It sinks to the bottom like a rock. Next day the chux is floating on the surface. I know it must need more weight, but why sink like a rock, then refloat much later?

Worthog Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I'm enjoying my Mosaic hop at the moment in a 4.3%ABV Pale. It will be one of my go-to winter beers. I would like to lift the "peachy" mid taste with a fruity, or otherwise, lift to the aftertaste. Any ideas what hop/s would do this?

So I might use with Citra; 10g of Simcoe FWH, as usual 10g/10g of Mosaic/Citra@2m 15g Mosaic @ whirlpool 25g Citra Dry Hop Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loral Hop flavour profile; Floral, fruity, citrus, herbal, peppery. Never seen them available at my usual sources. I don't usually source direct from USA. They definitely have the characteristics I like. Cheers and thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get the Cryo hops, use half a bag for this batch and half for another batch as Cryo are approximately double the amount of “flavour” to normal pellets. So basically if your using 100g of pellets, Cryo will only need 50g for the same effect. With less vegetable notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
