YOUR MOST DELICIOUS TWO HOPS COMBO?

[Andy]

They were deleted, inappropriate content

Are you serious? I mentioned a certain aroma, then a small tongue-in-cheek discussion grew from it.

The moderation round here is becoming overbearing.

It's the same as it's ever been.

I have this strange urge to hop inappropriately..

Anyway, for me cascade and willamette (with some other clean bittering hop like magnum) have been a long term favourite - the cascade as a dry hop as well. Although I'm having a bit of a flirt with simcoe and amerillo (currently in conjunction with cascade but that exceeds the allowance ) - can't yet decide if they're just a flash-in-the-pan for being different or if they'll sustain the attraction.

It definitely isn't. Since the whole racial slur thing, it's taken a step too far in my opinion. Words that can be broadcast on tv before the watershed are now being blocked. Also, discussions like this one have never been deleted in the past.

any other material that may violate any applicable laws.

Discussions about the aromas of plants and botanical groups don't violate anything.

Perhaps the idea of creating an infusion was on shaky ground, but the posts already included a legality disclaimer without being edited. To delete the whole discussion is just too much.

Anyway, to add my pointlessly removed opinion back to the thread:

Simcoe & Galaxy - Smells like [REDACTED].

[Dennis King]

Drinking a simco/galaxy beer at the moment.

Can you say "flirt"

[seymour]

bump.

Target for bittering with challenger in late. (Not strictly a two hop brew but I normally steep some goldings while cooling just to add a little something)

[barry44]

I made an extract with Amarillo and centennial late in the boil, dry hopped with centennial and it was fantastic.

I was really impressed with centennial at the first time of using.

[leedsbrew]

For British beers I don't think you can go wrong with Challenger and First Gold in lighter beers, and Bramling Cross and Goldings for Darker Beers.

New world hops I love Chinook and Amarillo

Mixing both sides of the atlantic together, Cascade and BX is phenomenal!

[barry44]

Cascade and bramling cross? Have you a recipe for that, leedsbrew?

[timbo41]

Just steeped sylvan and saphir in a kit and spraymalt mod....smelt delicious

[legion]

One of my best beers I have brewed was a double rye pa with ahtanum and citra combined for flavor and aroma. Used double the ahtanum to keep the citra from overpowering the ahtanum.

Sorry fella didn't see this until now.
