I have a vague recollection of an off-hand comment on the BN that the onion/cat-piss flavors from Simcoe are the result of the hops being left on the bine a little too long. It increases the alpha but begins to produce the undesirable flavors. It could be the same with summit.
:icon_offtopic: I would just like to pause and appaude Cocko for his balanced and informative posts during this thread.
You truly are an AHB poster boy, and offically my hero (you c*@t....)

be interesting to hear other peoples reviews.
I've used the 2012 twice now. Lovely hop. Absolutely no onion or garlic. I think you just need a steady hand. I did a simple 25 litre pilsener and it was fantastic. Bittered 60 mins with 10g, 15g at 15 mins, and 15g at 1 min. Crisp summer sipper.malt_shovel said:Anyone used 2012 summit hops from yakimavalley?
i was wondering if the crop they have is suffering this onion problem.
cheers in advance
