This article is going to be a bit of a brain dump, and perhaps a way to research and compile our own thoughts and evidence around this. As per the title, our latest challenge in our homebrewing journey has been a lack of hop flavour, but high bitterness in our West Coast IPA's.
This will be an ongoing post that we're hoping to continuously update with hop combinations we come across in our beer travels. They won't be in any particular order, so a "find" on the page might be the best way to locate a particular hop you're looking for, to see what other hops it has been paired with by commercial breweries.
Lagers are by far the most popular beer style in the world, so it makes sense that most brewers want to have a go at making one for themselves at some point. But when people begin diving into the world of homebrewing and researching how to make one themselves, they'll inevitably come across advice suggesting to steer clear as they can be more difficult to make than ales.
We've had this one kegged for some time now, and wanted to share our thoughts on how it turned out.
