Finally got around to brewing my Hop Hash IPA. I don't brew IPAs very often and this one is definitely the best I have ever made.

I wish I knew what hops were included. It definitely seems like newer fruity, IPA worthy varieties. I have been using Equinox a lot lately and the hop character reminds me of that. There is a nice resinous quality accompanied by tropical fruit and citrus. The fermenter had an almost spicy spruce thing going on and I am curious to see if that comes through.

Bittered to 63 IBUs @ 60 min with a combination of Nugget, Columbus, and Bravo
4 oz hop hash at flameout
4 oz hop hash dry hop

Since I cannot really recreate it, I plan on doing one of these every year assuming YVH continues to offer hop hash.










Good to hear, Chris!  Next IPA, I think I'll use mine.

I grabbed some hops from a local grower (Hallowed Hops in Lewiston, IL), and they offered me 2 lbs of Crystal hop powder for $16! They said it's really good as a dry hop in a non-traditional pilsner. I'm excited to try it, I also saw some Crystal hop hash at my local shop. I've got a kolsch I'm planning on dry hopping with pellets in half, hop powder in the other for comparison.
