Honestly shocked Mosaic didn't make the list. My personal favorite.

@amon-rasungod7684 8 месяцев назад

Same

@treehousebrewco 8 месяцев назад

I replied to another comment about why but ultimately I don't find it to be as versatile as many others and thus the reason for its exclusion. it can be a very contrasty hop with other varieties

@Zackaryah 8 месяцев назад

@treehousebrewco You did really knock it out of the park with the past batch of Big Blue though 😏👏

@hopsabbath 7 месяцев назад

I was too, but if I am not mistaken, I think mosaic is a cross-bred hop with simcoe. Might not be too different from one another, but I am also a brand new homebrewer so don't quote me on that.

@ineedsymbols 7 месяцев назад

Mosaic is so overrated and played out.

@stenlee556 2 месяца назад

This classic five can successfully solo and complement each other perfectly. They also work great in combination with other hops. Some of their combinations have already become a canon in the APA and IPa styles)))

Thanks for sharing your top list of hops. Glad to see that you highlighted my favorite Galaxy. I love the pineapple notes that you get from them. The JJJuice Project Galaxy, Galaxy, Galaxy beer that you brewed was amazing. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing you come out with that again in the near future. Thank you again and keep the videos. I'm a big fan of them.

@davewilliamson9022 8 месяцев назад

It's great to hear why you chose your go-to hops, and like the lesson I get from this as a home Brewer and understand that any hops I get at my home brew store will never compare to your hops from your supply chain, lesson learned

@donnhaviland9629 3 месяца назад

I have homebrewed with all of those hops. Citra is my absolute favorite as well.

@SoundzCool 5 месяцев назад

Totally agree on Amarillo, what I love about Amarillo is that as the 2nd Aroma hop it not only adds it's flavours but it's also the ultimate Winghop for your primary Aroma hop. Goes great with Strata, Mosaic, Azacca or Eclipse. It also feels like it's very consistent between years of harvest.

@dirtmodjunkie1wgc 8 месяцев назад

Good video! My five favorites are Citra, Strata, Galaxy, Sabro, and Motueka

@treehousebrewco 8 месяцев назад

motueka is dope

@aidanoconnor7299 7 месяцев назад

Jees man, you totally left me hanging there. Couldn't believe you waited till the end for cascade. My favorite. Been using it for a decade. You can never add too much!!! Oddly it's not been in the recent recipes I've been following...

@treehousebrewco 7 месяцев назад

🙏🏼 We use it all the time!

@ericq9049 7 месяцев назад

I remember Simcoe being a hugely divisive hop when it first became "hot". I latched onto it, because I felt there were some great aspects that provided some cool roundness and nuance when used with the classic C family varieties.

@kevinmorris6984 8 месяцев назад

Great video! Since you love Amarillo, have you ever tried making a Quad with Amarillo to accentuate the stone fruit character?

@beerbarnbrewing9160 8 месяцев назад

So many hops to choose from! I’d be lucky if I could narrow my list to 10!

@dietrickholliday4188 4 месяца назад

Great video, I'm usually not the one to ask for request. However , I am trying to get into working with hops and wanted to know if you could do a top five of hops that are easy to work with. Something that's relatively available and forgiving. Like you listed in the first one , you revealed. Five easy hops with different characteristics would give me a good start point.

@jeffroach3722 8 месяцев назад

Great video. Love to hear your perspective on hops. As a homebrewer, it's hard to know all the info about the hops (harvest timing, kilning temps, specific hop farm and specific lot on that farm, pelletization). No 2 citra batches are alike and some can be awful. Keep up the great content.

@treehousebrewco 8 месяцев назад

we spend countless hours making sure our citra is always great and getting better. recent advances have enabled us to participate in the fine minutia of how they are handled post harvest.

@danwolfe1356 8 месяцев назад

I really connected with your comment that terroir is a significant part of the flavor profile of Cascade. I have been so impressed by Cascade-dominant brews from several Hudson Valley brewers who use NYS Cascade hops - they seem so much better than west coast Cascade IMO. Was not aware that New Zealand Cascade might be even better - but I guess I didn't realize I was sampling those when I was drinking Tree House beers!

@treehousebrewco 8 месяцев назад

Right on. There are several videos on the channel about our travels and insight with Cascade. Check out the New Zealand and Australia trips from the spring.

@russellyearout132 2 месяца назад

Guys keep in mind that like many hops the harvest window and location have a profound effect on aroma and flavor. I find in the northwest, that typical Amarillo and sometimes Cascade come off very grapefruit pith flavored. If picked optimally or grown in various regions (willamette valley vs. Yakima), Amarillo can be stone fruit brilliance; as well Cascade and it’s aroma can be so intoxicatingly good- say from fresh hops, you just want to crush it. Same with Centennial, try Crosby or Coleman (N willamette) offerings this fall, brilliant!

@treehousebrewco 2 месяца назад

indeed - that’s a whole other topic but we are deep into our regional selection game

Love all of these. Check out the history of Cascade as related to Coors. They saved that hop from being tilled under forever.

@jamiestromberg8671 7 месяцев назад

I don't brew but love craft beer...time and time again when I love a beer the citra hop has been in the lineup or the only hop used. Also as a Minnesotan close to Fargo, ND I have been dying to try Julius and King julius...when can we see you in our market?

@discodave6153 7 месяцев назад

Love the insight on galaxy. Here in the U.K. a lot of galaxy beers are awful. Earthy, dusty, soily and a paracetamol bitterness. For years I thought that was just what galaxy tasted like until I got some TH beers. Verdant can use it consistently well now but it took them a while.

@TFrakesTanks 8 месяцев назад

Great selection, I use all of these hops every week (sadly not galaxy that often) for multiple different beers in our brew house. I love that Amarillo is your favorite because it is also mine. The only thing I would change on this list is simcoe for Nelson because Nelson is amazing.

@treehousebrewco 8 месяцев назад

nelson was definitely hard to leave out, but like mosaic it is not as versatile as the others.

@worems1 7 месяцев назад

I love Nelson, but really struggled to brew with it. I have brewed it 10 times and they've all come out too garlicy/oniony. Any tips for brewing with it? And to how to avoid that flavour?

@@worems1 at what point are you using this hop? It’s mostly for the aroma so in the whirlpool or during dry hopping are the times I would use it.

@alanburns2898 8 месяцев назад

A lot of breweries are hip to super fruity early harvest Simcoe but I think it’s overrated and boring when that “musty citrus” element is completely missing. Without some dank quality to counterbalance fruitiness, IPAs come across as sweet and undrinkable.

@Zackaryah 8 месяцев назад

I need something as DANK as Turbo. Debating on when I'll be drinking my last one 😅 Got a couple of The Greenest Green.

@alanburns2898 8 месяцев назад

@alanburns2898 8 месяцев назад

not an aroma hop, but I'd venture to say liquid Warrior, which is I'm pretty sure used as the bittering addition on the hot side in a ton of their IPAs. I could be wrong about that but several very well respected brewers have talked about how they use liquid Warrior as a base bittering hop and Nate included it in an early publicly available recipe. Haven't heard Nate mention it lately, so I may be totally wrong.
