Hops Guide

[mattcarty]

hey

is there a guide similar to the yeast article on this site that suggests different uses for hops.

ie hmmm a coopers real ale can i might try such and such hops with that etc. a rough guide as to what flavours would go well with different types of beer would be a good start for me to experiment with variations to kits and bits.

a link or a book suggestion much appreciated.

cheers

Palmer's online version of how to brew has some brief descriptions of hops and their uses

http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter5-3.html

Craftbrewer also has some great descriptions of the hops they sell as well, useful resource.
