Sorry, but I also posted this in the general forum…my mistake.
I noticed the new Conundrum session IPA recipe from NB and have a question…
What are the effects of amarillo and crystal at 5 min from end of boil and again when dry hopped?
I’ve never had a beer with these two in the dry hop mix, especially on a malt bill of Pilsen.
Can I get a good read on the taste of this from the experts? I’m not a huge simcoe fan to begin with, but I know it pairs well with amarillo. Curious as to the crystal combo.
Both varites are known for very high myrcene oil content. Myrcene has peach, vanilla and balsom aromas, on top of orange-citrus fravors. Unfortunately myrcene is quickly destroyed by heat, so these hops are often used close to (or after) the the end of the boil, or as dry hops.
