Hi everyone,
Long time lurker here. I did an experiment with different hop varieties and came up with disappointing results. Started with a mash for a 10 gallon batch, then prior to the boil I split the wort into two 5 gallon batches of Hazy/NE IPA. In one batch I used a mix of Idaho 7 and Mosaic hops, in the other I used Citra and Lemondrop. Equal amounts of hops were used in both batches, with 2 ounces given at flameout, 3 ounces at whirlpool, and 4 ounces as dry hop (9 ounces total per 5 gallon batch). While I expected a nice contrast between the two hop profiles, with the first being more dank and the second being more fruity, I'm surprised to find that they are very hard to tell apart. Any thoughts?
