Single Hop IPA's
Single Hop IPA's
From experience would you recommend any really tasty hops for some modern single hop IPA's? In the ever expanding world of hop availability.

Re: Single Hop IPA's
Summer is nice. Just made one and it's spot on.
Re: Single Hop IPA's
Any of the C hops are good
Citra, Centennial, Chinook, Cascade, Columbus
I like Amarillo as well
I've not tried any of the really really new stuff though

Re: Single Hop IPA's
I've just done a Galaxy one. Very nice!! But any of the above. Centennial is on my to do list.

Re: Single Hop IPA's
I'd agree with Bunglebrewsbeer, Galaxy is a cracking hop. I'd also chuck Chinook into the hat, can't beat the grapefruit. Having said that, back in the day, the Mikkeller Simcoe and Nelson Sauvin single hop IPAs were immense.

Re: Single Hop IPA's
I've done a Nelson one which was very good and do love Simcoe also on its own. I've only ever really used chinook for bittering and not late on yet.

Re: Single Hop IPA's
Thankyou for suggestion, I just made an Amarillo which turned out good, but picked up a single hop IPA of the same name from M&S and realised I can go much more intense.
Will pick up some hops now and plan is to do a big mash, split it into several boils - one for each hop. Will see which of these hops I can get hold of at the local shop.

Re: Single Hop IPA's
I know its a bit out there but why not try some English hops. In particular, Bullion, Challenger, Endeavour and Minstrel. They will all stand they're own if used properly.

Can't be arsed to keep changing this bit, so, drinking some beer and wanting to brew many more!

I assume you are referring to an American Imperial Pale Ale and not the type of ale we once sent to India. If it is the latter I recommend Fuggles they seemed to do the job all those years ago. If you need a recipe there are several in OLD BRITISH BEERS AND HOW TO MAKE THEM by Dr John Harrison and the DURDEN PARK BEER CIRCLE

Re: Single Hop IPA's
Thanks for suggestions I just brewed 4 single hop IPA's.
2 favourites and a couple of new ones. Citra, Mozaic, Styrian Goldings (Bobek) and Magnum.
4 x 4L from single mash, fermenting today in demijohns, stove top boils.
50IBU's each.

Re: Single Hop IPA's
One hop for an IPA, don't think you'll find better than Mosaic. Has it all going on, it's almost cheating.
Re: Single Hop IPA's
