To be quite honest, if you have never used Equinox, you might use them as a single hop in a pale ale. It is a pretty dynamic hop. I think it's profile is similar to centennial on steriods with a punch of columbus dank added to it if that makes much sense. I've done a single hopped equinox APA and it was really good. Equinox has become one of my favorite hops, because of it's versatility being used only and working well with many others. It has so many layers of goodness!

Thanks for the feedback. I only ordered 4 oz which makes it difficult to do a single hopped beer. I suppose I could do a lower OG smash pale ale with magnum for bittering?

A smash would be fine, but don't change your plans if you want an APA. Equinox works well with the C hops. Cascade won't take away from it and work well with Equinox. I was just making a suggestion if you had more Equinox that it works well by itself

Equinox or HBC 366 is my favorite of the newer hop varieties. I have an IPA on tap now that has equal amounts of Columbus, Simcoe, Cascade, and HBC 366 for flavor and I'm loving it.

It's very nice hop. As mentioned there's more to it than just fruitiness. I used it 2 ways. Once in a 3.8% cask bitter with just 70g Equinox in the 160F whirlpool/steep. Also used it in a big IPA at a 3:2 ratio with Mosaic. Came out very nice and if you can believe it, it drowned out the Mosaic. Classic C hops, Simcoe, would all pair very nicely.

Thanks all. Sounds like the wonder hop.

Yes, Equinox, err HBC-366, has high oil content, so 2:1 or 3:1 would work. Look up data for these hops here.

I do use that site quite often. It weird how it's listed as HBC 366 formerly Equinox. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

damn now what am I going to call my Citranox IIPA?  Citra366?


I guess they dropped/had to drop the name. So now it's HBC366 again until it gets renamed. Still a damn nice hop.

I'm thinking so.     Maybe 'The Beer Formerly Known As Citranox' ?

I like that.  Maybe I should create a symbol of sorts, as an homage to Prince.

Same thing I was thinking. A hop cone symbol, obviously.

Just called it "366 - The Sign of a Devil in Training"
