I know there are some brews that definitely need more than one type of hops, I am almost done with my Northern Brewer mash. I made one this past summer that was great. So im doing it before the hunt this weekend. a pale ale with NB(whole) at FWH,50min,and 3 min.And i will keg hop it too. I also like Centennial hops as an exclusive hop in a beer. Does anyone have a stand-alone hop they like too?

I've done an all Amarillo APA that was outstanding. I agree on the Centennial being a good choice as well. My first Alt was all Spalt (and more than others might use) and it was one of my better beers at the time.If I had the time/inclination, I'd probably do a SMaSH with any of the 11 varieties I've purchased by the pound just to see how it turns out.

I love fuggle in my irish red. Just fuggles it adds a great earthy taste.

I have made all Amarillo ale a couple of times,the first i loved, the second not so much.With the 1# i have im sure i will try some variation again this winter. That sounds good carlos about the fuggles, have a pound of them too. I was thinking of an all williamette brown sometime, but that red sounds good too.Maybe i will use ken L's base malt plan.

Try this Its George Mahoneys Irish Red. It calls for EKG as the last hop addition but I just use fuggle .
