Hop advice

[Wayne (Captain Yobbo)]

I bought a few varieties of hops online amarillo, chinhook, cascade and fuggles and i was wanting to know which ones would be suited for a mexican cerveza and also sparkling ale these are what i have on hand at the moment and when i use them i boil them cheers in advance

i was thinking of adding cascade to my next cerveza for a citrus/grapefruit aroma.

chinook or fuggles would probably be overpowering for such a mild kit. (but i only know chinook from what i've read)

 

haven't played with an ale kit yet, but seeing as you have amarillo and cascade you could go for a Fruit salad or something similar.

 

Here's some bits and pieces i've saved from websites over time:

Amarillo : The aroma is described as flowery, spicy and citrus-like with a distinct orange bouquet.

Cascade : pleasant, flowery and spicy, citrus-like quality with a slight grapefruit characteristic

chinook : for the teeth-clenching hophead, Spicy, PINEY (like toilet duck), grapefruit; in abundance

Fuggles : Superb in English-style ales. Woody, earthy, pleasant vegetal.

Cheers mate the only one i really had an idea about was the fuggles i bought them with the intention to use them in porters, stouts and dark ales but i bought the others as i had seen many others using them in their brews cheers

I did this

 

Coopers Cerveza

500Gm Orange Blossom Honey

500Gm LDME

1 x Cascade Hop bag, steeped and tossed into FV

 

After reaching FG, I popped it in the old fridge acquired the day before and let it chill... bottled a few days later and a few weeks in a friend with more discerning tastes said "don't change the recipe"
