Chinook Hops

[Pickaxe]

Drop the chocolate? I know choc can dry on.the pallete?

 

[Cocko]

Na, that choc amount will give a little colour, not much more...

Drop the Chinook at zero.

Done.

 

[Pickaxe]

Try it.

Do what you think is what you want Pickaxe, Obviously.

Report back with your opinion.

God speed.

That sounds like a warning if ever I've heard one. I'll research, and get back to ya.

What I don't.understand is I love pine, I love resin, I love that rich tang, but I'm not sure how to replicate it. Is like a beer acid drop (for my brethren that remember acid drop lollies).
That balance between. Undrinkable and super tang..

Research to be done.

I use homegrown chinook all the time by itself and have been heavy handed with late additions. I've done a 10 min IPA with them requiring ~10g/L at 10 mins. Loved it.

My current stout on tap has a big late addition of chinook. Loving it.

As Cocko has suggested, give it a go for yourself and see what you think.

Well for WIW my 50/50 brew @ 60 min came out really well, mostly galaxy malt at 1010fg - 4%alc.
This is a brew again summer session ale, nice crisp citrusy, just a hint of citrus pith(not unpleasant) which I
imagine would be more prominent if going over 50/50. However I am tempted to go 70/30.. or chuck in more late.
Maybe a bit of both. I have trouble brewing the exact same recipe twice.

Holgate roadtrip, boatrocker hop bomb and brewdog punk ipa all have chinook.

Purvis, slowbeer or grape and grain in moorabbin.

There smash is very smash-able easy drinking.

I use Chinook and Galaxy in my house apa to around 70 IBU with Chinook being the buttering hop. I love it and try to have a keg of it on tap or ready to go. Seems to be a great hop to blend with as Yob said.
