Anyone have any experience with them? I am looking for replacement hops for Simcoe and Amarillo.
I just bought 2 oz of Zythos and Bravo since the descriptions seem similar
good bittering hop - kind of earthy/spicy. nice and oily/sticky.
not too crazy with it as a flavor or aroma hop.
replacement for Simcoe or Amarillo? not on your life.
I’d say they’d sub for Warrior or Columbus moreso.
Cool. Thanks for that. I will have to experiment a bit
i’d recommend a single hop pale or amber - that’s what I did when they first came out (07?).
Yeah I think that is my plan for the Bravo and Zythos. I was thinking about bittering with magnum though and using Bravo/Zythos for flavor/aroma in the two diferent beers. Probably won’t get around to it for a while.
I just brewed my second IPA with Bravo as the sole bittering hop. It’s a good change of pace from Chinook or Columbus. I like it a lot. It would not be a suitable aroma-sub for the hops you mentioned though. What possible sub is there for Simcoe anyway?
