Notes

In order to evaluate the new hop to get a better idea of the aromas and flavors I can expect, I like to make hop tea or brew a SMaSH beer with it.

Below, is my favorite recipe—and one I’d strongly recommend you try—when I’m brewing a SMaSH beer. This recipe only uses only pale malt and cascade hops, but you can substitute in any hops you like.

Procedure:
Mash for one hour at 152° F or until starch conversion is complete. Mash out at 170° F. Bring to a boil. Add first hop addition and start timer. After 30 minutes, add second addition. After 15 more minutes, add third hop addition and the Irish moss.

As you turn off your heat, stir in your final hop addition. Whirlpool, chill to 68° F, and rack to your fermenter. Pitch yeast and ferment at 68° F for 7-10 days or until fermentation is complete. Rack to secondary fermenter with 0.5 ounces of dry-hops.

Let rest for 7-14 days at 68° F and bottle or keg to 2.5 volumes of carbon dioxide.
