New IPA hops
« on: March 08, 2017, 07:17:47 pm »
My friend and former boss at BSG just called me saying they had some over-runs and wanted to know if I wanted some hops...  Umm... let me think about that for a nano-second.

So I picked up several that I have not brewed with before and am wondering how they would work together in an IPA: Pacific Jade, Waimea, & Rakau.  Any thoughts on how these would work together in making a Down Under IPA?

Adapting this recipe might work out good:

I can't speak for the other two, but I was underwhelmed by a recent IPA I made that featured Rakau as the primary hop.  It definitely doesn't have the power of some of the other "Down Under" hops.
