Howdy,
Now that I have 5 BIAB AGs under my belt I wanted to start experimenting with hops that I havent used before. I have some warrior, newport & palisade hops that I bought from craft brewer. What I was wanting to do was use an identical grain bill for 3 batches (I have 3 bags made up from craft brewer using the grain bill from Jayses Skunk Fart Ale) and use one hop type in each batch so I could get a feel of the bittering, aroma and flavour of each hop. To keep things scientific I will be hopping all batches to 35 IBU and fermenting them all with US-05.
Does this sound like a good idea? Can anyone say if the above hops are good for using by themselves, if not then I have odd amounts of leftover hops from previous brews (POR, northern brewer, cascade, progress, green bullet, amarillo, spalt, b saaz flowers, willamette, first gold, sapphire, nelson sauvin, hallertau mittlefrueh & herbrucker)
Cheers.
