Top 5 Hops To Use With Hazy IPA

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

Loved watching this!

[@twiliteturtle495]

My best ever hazy was Amarillo, Galaxy, Mosaic and Vic Secret, roughly 0.7-1.0-0.7-1.0, fermented with Lallemand Koln for its biotransformative properties. Also had a lot of success with BRU-1, Idaho 7, Nectaron, Citra and Sabro over the years. The best single hop NEIPA I've made was ~400g of Strata, roughly 40/60 whirlpool/dry hop. Absolute passion fruit bomb.

[@txsunnyboy]

Citra, Galaxy and Mosaic in 1:1:1 proportion are my favorite. Thanks for the lovely video Martin!

[@deckerhand12]

Glad this is back to weekly

[@liquidgold2735]

Citra, Mosaic and Amarillo is my favorite 3 hop blend for a hazy. I also love doing Sabro and Cashmere for a coconut and lime IPA!

[@jackieatkins7003]

I fluked that perfect combo when I first started home brewing about 4 years ago. I'll occasionally rotate another hop through depending on what I have on hand at the time. My top 5 are Galaxy, Mosaic, Citra, Cascade & El Dorado. I tried Sabro with Citra & Mosaic in a NEIPA recently. Initially I quite liked it but after about 2 weeks in the keg, the coconut notes started to get a bit much. I normally suck at picking out certain flavours and aromas, but Sabro hits me hard with coconut. About the only other hop that gives me very distinct notes, is Cascade with a strong cannabis aroma lol.

[@Fairlylocalhomebrewery]

Nectaron, galaxy, mosaic, hbc1019, and bru1 my top 5.

[@gomezfriesen]

Hbc 1019 is mind blowing. It's fuzzy peaches if you do a hop rub.

[@Fairlylocalhomebrewery]

@gomezfriesen yeah 1019 is an amazing hop. Cant believe its not talked about more.

[@gomezfriesen]

I made a single hop hazy IPA with it. And called it Peaches Peaches Peaches! We sold out from that beer so fast, we'll be putting it into our yearly rotational IPA's.

[@markrose8250]

Really enjoyed this, and would welcome more hop and combo episodes

[@jimkat2]

Nice one Martin. I use Citra, Simcoe and Amarillo on a 1:1:1 ratio

[@oldschoolman1444]

I use the same but with cascade too.

[@OreBankBrewing]

Just brewed one with Citra incognito, Simcoe, and Citra cryo in the whirlpool and nectaron, Citra cryo, and mosaic cryo in the dry hop at a total of 5lbs per barrel with the nectaron at about 50% of the dry hop. Still in the fermenter right now but it smells amazing. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

[@beardnmuscles1811]

Really my favourite hops for a fruity, tasty and hazy IPA are Simcoe Citra and Amarillo. An awesome combo also in a hoppy wheat beer. Cheers

[@oldschoolman1444]

I use that same combination with cascade too. I like the dank Simcoe adds.

[@craig.n.gaylene]

There’s a relatively new hop from NZ called Superdellic. I used it in a 1:1:1 with Citra and Vic Secret and it really brings out the tropical flavours and its strong on berry, some fruit and floral notes. I’m going to try it again with Galaxy because I don’t think Vic Secret bought much to the party.

[@chrisnewman861]

The recent Craft Beer and Brewing podcast ep342 titled - Hazy IPA Now! Featured 3 top hazy brewers and co-host Vinnie Cilurzo asked them : which hop would they choose if they couldn't use the classic cheat hops, Citra mosaic or strata..? And they all agreed without hesitation.. NELSON SAUVIN.

[@mikekerr4728]

My go to hazy recipe has a combination of Citra, El Dorado, and Idaho 7 (in equal parts - save a "bittering addition" of Citra at 10 mins). Also a big fan of Mosaic, Simcoe, Amarillo in hazy ipas.

[@joshbuhl105]

My best result up until now has been citra+mosaic+el dorado downplaying citra a little to avoid the garlicky/oniony notes that too much citra can bring (imho). Best result trying to get away from the same ole citra+mosaic+'x' has been nectaron+eclipse+rakau.

[@Mikkogram]

And for the new HYPE combo citra+mosaic+Neeeeelson. Gotta go with Nelson these days to pleasure the customers base

[@joshbuhl9824]

@@Mikkogram 🤔

[@mrow7598]

I'd try the new Styrian hops. Dragon, Wolf, Fox, etc. High AA and high fruit/berry flavors.

[@ReaperUnreal]

I've made a Micro NEIPA with Styrian Wolf, it's REALLY good. The strawberry notes are real, but it's not nearly as powerful as Sabro, so you have to be careful with the ratios.

[@pmhartel]

I love sabro in my NEIPAs. I dont get a crazy ammount of coconut but the hint it does have i think helps give that fuller "creamy" body that people go for with the style. Highly recommend! That said i think you could pick any 2 or 3 out of that hat at random and couldnt go wrong. What a time to be a brewer!

[@arpadhalak6066]

Nectaron is born to be a hazie hop. Not that it couldn’t work in others. But I brewed a “modern saison” with that hop and it tastes like a hazy ipa with the spices of the saison yeast 😅

[@SteaminPile]

Mosaic only ever gave me pine notes. But I'm excited to give Galaxy a try!!

[@Kaesekuchen002]

Recently brewed a hazy IPA with Galaxy, Amarillo and Idaho-7. Best one I made so far.

[@simonevdw90]

I love to brew NEIPA’s and the best one I brewed with simcoe, el dorado, Idaho 7 and citra.

[@Tomtiburon]

Sabro, citra, Columbus are my favourite hop combination in a hazy ipa💪🏽😍

[@samuelpearsall8624]

I’m hoping to make my “house pale” a Pacific Ale style with Nectaron, Galaxy and anything else to make it an easy drinking tropical fruit ale. Great timing for this video to come out 👍 Local brewer Brewer’s Collective made their NEIPA version 3 with Superdelic, that was a great hop that apparently tastes like “red fruit” whatever that means

[@BrewabitRick]

Some of my favourite hops very interesting cheers 👍🍻

[@Aaronrogers2407]

Great video Martin! For the 1:1:1 ratio, is that ratio by weight or overall IBU contribution for each hop? I’m definitely gonna give this a try!

[@nsmith1388]

Haha, just brewed my first Hazy with that exact cheat code... solid combo.

[@ElementaryBrewingCo]

I always get a little bit of gasoline flavor with mosaic, or maybe too much mosaic. So my go to is usually Citra Galaxy, and then either Simcoe, Sabro, or El Dorado.

[@biralleebeerbrewing2373]

I just brewed a hazy with citra, mosaic and melba (only because I couldn't get galaxy at the time) after reading the same "cheat code" from YV - it truly is an awesome combo Definitely not a fan of sabro after using it a couple of times, the tangy, cedar character was just not something I particulary enjoyed

[@reyn66]

Bru-1, azacca, vic secret, are also wonderful fruity hops.

[@bigernbladesmith]

Mosaic and BRU-1 for me. I'm not into IPAs, but that combo is good for my personal beer.

[@tuamstuamstuamstuams]

I personally really love the combo of galaxy and azacca. Also, mandarina bavaria is an underrated hop varity

[@f.lapointe4343]

I tried with succes chinook, galaxy and loral combo

[@miwinterdays6707]

HBC586 is a worthy mention as it is heavy on Mango and tropic flavors.

[@paulmcallister4546]

Riwaka and Nelson for me.

[@newtonnametrkwadratowy7875]

nectaron mosaic bru1 combo is my favourite

[@TheAlchemistsBrewery]

Always Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy... you could use El Dorado, Idaho 7, Simcoe.

[@vegardt3433]

Mosaic feel a bit like not quite ripe bluberries. Still acidic, like the berries that are still a bit pink, but starting to soften up.

[@jgar538]

I've had good experiences with Citra and Mosaic, but 3 purchases of Galaxy from different suppliers have been horrible. Kiss off Australia! Cheerz.

[@4utomonous]

Nectaron, Idaho-7, Citra

[@mrow7598]

ID-7 is a good hop.

[@Pingwinho]

@@mrow7598 what do you do with all that time saved from writing "aho"?

[@mrow7598]

Interesting how hops have changed over the years. Citra when first released had a huge grapefruit flavor, now I barely get it. Lemondrop used to take lemon, now to me it takes like apple. My guess there was something in the soil that's no longer there or where they originally grew it. Or they grow it else where and the the sun or the soil is different causing different flavors.

[@Mikkogram]

I like the old school NEIPA more. The new soft, not bitter interpretations lack a lot

[@TWillBeer]

Mosaic has so much garlic/onion I just can’t with that hop. It sticks out like a sore thumb when used too liberally (in equal or greater amounts to any other hop). It can give a decent background “dank” when used properly though.

[@dpromny]

Vic Secret is criminally underrated

[@MurraySellsHomes]

Before I even watch the episode I love el dorado!

[@dedencyde1]

Sabro is great but I hate the way it tastes once the beer gets a bit older and that sweetness makes the sabro taste like suntan lotion. My go to combo is citra, el do and strata

[@joshbuhl9824]

Same experience re suntan lotion...

[@dedencyde1]

Indeed. I have a triple IPA on tap and now that its a couple months old, its too coconutty for me. People still like it but for me, its too much. I loved it when it was fresh.

[@joshbuhl9824]

@@dedencyde1 for me, the coconut is too much right from the beginning. And then it progresses to suntan lotion. 😄🤷🏼‍♂️🍻

[@ChipBuddly]

Eldorado, Mosaic, Strata. Juicy pineapple grapefruit.

[@bruceedwards3366]

Waimea, Orange sunrise and tangerine dream

[@Al-Brewster]

no amarillo?

[@Marshall_Brulosophy]

I loooooove Amarillo in classic (err... clear) APA and IPA, but the few times I've used it in Hazy IPA, it doesn't seem to pack the same punch. That's not to say it's bad, it certainly is not, I just personally think some of the more pungent modern varieties fit the style better.

[@Al-Brewster]

@@Marshall_Brulosophythat makes sense, thanks "clearing" that up. I love Amarillo, and was just wondering if anyone had tried it in a hazy as most brewers tend to go for the usual suspects. I myself have never brewed a hazy as classic IPAs and stouts are my go to recipes to brew

[@吳承恩-c7s]

Columbus, Citra, Mosaic

[@jgar538]

I almost forgot; Australian Helga was also a waste of my hard earned dollars.

[@bigjimmitchell]

No one actually knows how to make New England anymore. Breweries just make cloudy beers that are horribly acidic and are sickly sweet.

[@Fairlylocalhomebrewery]

Yeah there is zero balance with most neipa today. Kindof sad.

[@Margarinetaylorgrease]

“Juicy”, what does it mean to you?

[@NoMusiciansInMusicAnymore]

Citra and Galaxy are so over used imo
