1 hop beers?

[dunleav1]

My Summit IPA came out pretty good. A little light on the aroma, though. It was a big hit with my beer friends. I'm going to re-brew it this weekend, but I'm upping the hops to 7 oz of Summit. Should help out with the aroma.

I've done two one hop beers.

Amarillo - Awesome
Simcoe - good but a little harsh.

For me - Summit in high volume smells like onion or BO.

Are you upping the late hops, dry hops? I'm debating if and how much I'd dry hop this one.

I'm upping the late hops. At 15% AAU, the IBUs get pretty high, pretty quick. So I don't want to throw off the balance of the recipe. Which is about 1.069 OG with about 68-72 IBUs. The majority are going in at 10, 2 and flameout/whirlpool.


I didn't get any of the onion or garlic smells on the last brew. I got pretty solid tangerine/grapefruit. My wife swore the fermenter was full of grapefruit. I just need to get that solid nose in the final beer.

So this one has been in the keg for a couple weeks and it's fucking great! The sweet citrus hop flavors have mellowed a bit and it's easy drinking. Head retention isn't very good and I need to up the carbonation a little but this is a SMASH I can't wait to drink and brew again.

Glad you liked it. I get great head retention and lacing on mine. It was a huge hit at the tailgate. Feels good to see someone drink 4 pints of your beer. My SMaSH was Munich/Northern Brewer. If you want something with a little more malt background I would highly suggest Munich or Vienna.

I'm thinking of doing a munich with a real low dose of hops, Cal-Ale yeast at lower temp, and mash at 154 for a full body and malty beer. My next batch is going to be Maris Otter again but this time with just Northern Brewer. I'll need to up the ounces a little because of the lower AA level but I'm intending to make as similar wort as I can.

That's what mine was. About 4% ABV and around 26 IBUs. Great session beer. Beautiful color.

Just brewed another SMaSH this weekend. Vienna & Centennial.

Sly Fox has been doing the single hop beers since 2004. They sell the hop project in year installments so bars will carry each month's beer. I try to get a least one pint of each variety. Great bears and awesome concept.
