Our Single Hop Experiment series is the perfect way to learn the characteristics of individual hop varietals and explore the world of flavors and aromas. With this kit, you'll get to brew 5 gallons of finished beer using a simple Pale Ale recipe, featuring a small bittering addition of Magnum and three 2 oz additions of your chosen hop for late boil and at dry hopping.

The Concept Behind the Single Hop Experiment

We recently had a simple, yet exciting idea: What if we brewed the same recipe, used the same yeast, but changed one thing - the flavor, aroma, and dry hop additions using one hop varietal. That way we could take two beers that are close to identical and pick out the differences in just the hop flavors and aromas! And thus, the Single Hop Experiment was born.

What to Expect from This Recipe Kit

This recipe is based off of a simple Pale Ale: 2-Row, Crystal 15L, Magnum bittering hops, and then a single other hop for the rest of the additions. The malt in this recipe is basic and fairly neutral, the bittering clean and consistent, but the flavor and aroma from the late hop additions will vary; sometimes dramatically! Ever wanted to know what your favorite hop really is? Brew a few of these different Single Hop Experiment recipes to find out!
