Introducing the Centennial Single Hop Experiment Kit
Are you curious about the unique characteristics of individual hop varietals? Our Single Hop Experiment series is the perfect way to learn about the flavor, aroma, and dry hop additions of different hops. This 5-gallon beer recipe kit includes a small bittering addition of Magnum and three 2 oz additions of Centennial hops for late boil and dry hopping.
The Perfect Experiment for Home Brewers
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.
A Simple yet Effective Recipe
This recipe is based off of a simple Pale Ale: Ultralight malt extract, 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!
