Unleash the Power of Hop Experimentation
Are you ready to unlock the secrets of individual hop varietals? Our Single Hop Experiment series is the perfect way to explore the unique characteristics of different hops in a fun and easy way. With our Lemondrop Single Hop Experiment | 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit | Extract, you can brew your own beer and experience the distinct flavors and aromas of Lemondrop hops.
What is 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.
A Simple yet Effective Recipe
This recipe kit is based on a simple Pale Ale recipe, with 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!
What to Expect
With this recipe kit, you can expect to brew a beer with an estimated ABV of 5% and estimated IBUs of 35. 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!
