Title: Hop Me Please
Post by: JKL on March 30, 2011, 03:11:31 PM: I'm planning to do a test run on the new 1/2 barrel system this weekend to feel out my efficiency %. Well, if that darn BarleyCrusher ever shows up? I'm was wanting to do something cheap and basic so I'm gonna go with a simple semi-hoppy American Brown around 1.050 and 30-50 ibu. I've only done a couple of English Brown ales over the years and used mainly UK hops. Does anyone have a good hop combinations ideas that work well for this style?

I agree with the Willamettes.
Nuggets are also a pretty good option.
