chinook hops in a previous posting were descibed by king
of the harpies as FUNKY.
hope you read this mr harpie as im curious as to the meaning behind this description.
bigd,
All the reading material I have regards Chinook hops as a bittering hop. Ranging in the low to mid teens in AAU%. All say it has a strong resinous aroma used for strong bittering ability. Aromas listed from heavy grapefriut to distinct piney aroma..Yuch a beer that tastes like pine-o-clean.
I suspect that it may be similar to pride of ringwood hops. excellent bittering hop but keep it below 20IBU's if you want a nice flavour from it.
Just my thoughts not from my experience, I have had others tell me about the P.O.R hops. Hope it helps
i know jayse has a few brews going at the moment with chinook.just waiting for results.
thanks for the reply linz.
pine o clean is not my thing.
hope its better than that
