Eureka Moment With Hops

[lastdrinks]

I am still in the steep learning phase with brewing but had a really unexpected taste experience on two brews i put down in the last month. The exact same kit/malt/dex/crystal recipe but with different hops. A cascade brewed tasted liked cordial and hallertau one seemed perfect. Both had the same IBU count.

Bloody eureka i thought the spicy non-sweet hallertau balanced things well but cascades fruit or citrus taste pushed it over the edge.

I'm really interested to see if this makes sense to other brewers.

Absolutely. Amarillo is an example, as is cascade. Interestingly, this was brought up in another post, just today....link

Bloody hell, glad the idea held water but thought it might be more original than being raised 9 hours ago.

But seriously i think that is one of the factors that cant be added into beersmith or promash and is important in making a tasty beverage.
