i disagree with all of you. i love excess of low alpha hops. try some de ranke xx bitter or fresh poperings hommelbier some time. depends on what sort of beer youre making though - dryhopping a stout with tettnang is horrible. dryhopping a funky belgian that's going to age a while - yes. i find excessive late hopping with high aa hops (especially new world ones) much more objectionable than "grassy" noble hops. but thats just my palate...
Any reason to use loads of low alpha hops?

Either way, I brewed a ........ Who cares what it was, it's now a 1.057 OG of Pilsner malt. I used 75g of 2.1 Tettnang at 60min, and....... 200g in the whirlpool. The hydro sample burnt my tounge. I'm only just getting feeling back now. I just pitched a few packs of dry yeast I had in the fridge, so I am looking forward to how this turns out
