Hi guys,

Im fancying trying my hand at a single hop pale ale recipe.. does anyone have one they have done that they particularly like? Im thinking hoppy and citrussy as hell (currently knocking back Scarer's Bombay IPA...very quickly..) - and pretty pale - at about 4%. Citra or amarillo or something.. i would just have a go - but thought id see if anyone had any advice first!

Cheers!

Rowan

Only tried Amarillo out of that lot as a single hop and can strongly recomend it

Amarillo, Motueka, Rakau or Pacifica are all fantastic as single hop brews (100% MO or 90% MO +10% wheat or munich or vienna or caramalt or carapils etc).

Hi

Hophead recipe here is all Cascade.
Lovely pint.

I'd also suggest it would be good as 100% Amarillo as Darkstar do a Hophead Amarillo.

Citra's an excellent choice too, planning it for my next brew.

Cheers for the answers!!

What sort of quantity of these buggers should i be adding to a 5kg MO brew? I figured to throw in 100g-ish of one spread throughout the brew, with heavy post boil hopping... unless there is some kind of science to it

Yep, chuck in 100g.

I favour dividing it into 3 roughly equal bunches and chucking them in at 15m, 5m and flameout. But then i'm after flavour not bitterness. You'll still get some bitterness anyway.

Another vote for Citra, 100g minimum but the more you can spare for late additions the better

Mount Hood is great, I went through about 1kg of that stuff doing brew after brew with it!
