Re: Hops that work well together.
Challenger/EKG
Simcoe/amarillo.
Some time ago I did an amber with simcoe/summit/saphir that turned out great.

Re: Hops that work well together.
In case you're interested, there are at least two similar past conversations where you can get more great pairings:
Great British hop combinations? viewtopic.php?f=11&t=59891&hilit=+two+hop+combo#p630072

Re: Hops that work well together.
Seymour could I ask, are all these combos a case of the first for bittering, the second for aroma? Or do you like some together at the aroma stage of proceedings? I've been wondering what to pair NS with, so cheers. Guessing Green Bullet for bittering.seymour wrote:Challenger, Progress

Re: Hops that work well together.
that's right, and the beer I refer to is Marble Dobber.
Re: Hops that work well together.
Of course! How could I forget....?
I'd be interested in hop aroma combos that people like, as well as bittering/aroma combos.

Re: Hops that work well together.
Thanks for replies, esp Seymour. What would we do without you I'm brewing tomorrow, and have 5.5k pale ale, 1k crystal, 200g chocolate, 200g biscuit, 100g torrified wheat, along with hop selection of 100g fuggles, 50g ek goldings, 50g first gold, and 70g brambling x. I'm on the look out for recipes involving some of these ingredients. Only yeast I have left is a packet of Safale s o4. Any ideas? much appreciated.
Re: Hops that work well together.
You could do an Orkney Dark Island clone...
http://www.hopandgrain.com/recipeSearch ... ark+Island
The hops in that recipe are not what the Orkney website says it uses - the brewery uses EKG and First Gold...
http://www.sinclairbreweries.co.uk/bott ... sland.html
I've done this with EKG and it was excellent. I didn't have any First Gold but wish I had. One thing, a week or two ago I had my first ever Dark Island, on draught at my local, and it was nothing like the recipes that you find on the web, or the beer I made. It was black, a dark mild. The beer I made was great though, in fact I enjoyed it more than the real one I had. Would be interesting to taste the bottled version. I did a second version, and increased the Crystal to 6% and the Chocolate to 4%, and used Aurora and Centennial hops, and this was even better, to my taste. It was dark, smooth and lush.

Re: Hops that work well together.
+1 to Clibit's suggestions. Orkney Dark Island is a masterpiece, and I've never heard of any clone attempt turning out badly either. Go for it!
