I hazard a guess that most of us select yeast based on beer styles.
What I'd like to know is, are there times where pro brewers take into account such things as yeast and hop combinations that by themselves aren't strictly to tradition or convention but when paired produce an on style, on point...
Righto
Cracked a bottle of the above said brew and shared with the one who must be obeyed, she has a far greater ability than myself for aroma evaluation, she noted without any knowledge of hop combination that there was heaps of pineapple straight off the bat and that the aroma didn't follow...
Just bottled a Pale Ale that I used Hort 4337 in, Combined with equal measure of Mosaic for both hop stand and dry hop.
Aroma was fantastic at bottling, now just waiting a week for carbonation. I get the feeling it's going to be a good one.

Interesting method, will try
I'm another home grower that is finding vibrant hop aromas hard to come by and tend to use my home grown as a bittering addition.
cheers
Hey guys, As there has been a bit of discussion of late about this style I thought I'd put up a recipe that has worked for me.
I put this together using information I gleaned from BYO magazine where they broke down some of the mystery surrounding what they thought contributed different aspects...
I drop a lamb every fortnight and use the grain bags from Malt and chicken feed to dump all entrails and skins into, then into the wheely bin.
Probably not helpful.:rolleyes:
