millenium hops
« on: October 25, 2015, 01:04:37 pm »
I have been using millennium hops for a couple of years as my bittering hops for several different beer styles. Yet I have never seen any real discussions about the hops pro or con. I am curious about others' reaction to the hops. I have generally found it a versatile hops that has aloud me to stretch dollars used for the purchase of hops. What has others found?

All I know is that it is a daughter of Nugget and Columbus. That to me says it would be great as a bittering and mid to late hop in IPAs. I may need to get some on my next big buy.

Thanks for responding, Steve.

I find the lack of response interesting.

I think the lack of response is likely because not many peiple have used them.  Do you ever use them as a late-addition, or strictly for bittering?  From what I've read they are similar to Nugget.  I use Nugget frequently when I want a clean bitterness that won't get in the way of the late hops.

I've used them strictly as bittering; primarily because I brew a rotation of styles that often call for different hops for flavor and aroma. For example, Irish Red, Belgian Strong, Blonde, Porter, etc.

I used to love Widmer which uses their own hop blend called Alchemy that is apparently a mix of Millenium, Warrior, and smaller amounts of Horizon. It's harder to find their beer here now but I have not really heard too much about Millenium hops other than that.
