Is this clean enough to use at 60 mins for german lagers?  I've only used the german magnum in the past.  this is from hop heaven if that helps.

I'd use it without hesitation.

[djinkc]

It's been a long time but I don't recall anything really off.  I usually keep enough Gr around that I use it.

This, not an issue in my book. Remember, Steve Urquell would use CTZ on his lagers to bitter.

[Genesee Ted]

Yup no problem.

I wouldn't worry too much about a bittering hop. Early enough addition in the boil will rid the beer of most volatiles.

I need to read up on hops again and which acids and oils make up the flavor, bittering, and aroma compounds. Knowing the make up of the hops could aid your decision.

I never really figured that out.  if you find a concise and easy to follow source please share!

Bittering hops ultimately don’t matter. Just need to know they are stored well so you can be reasonably sure about the alphas.

I understand the lore and generalities. That's not where I was going. There are probably direct connections between hop content and bittering. I don't think bitterness is a singular flavor either. There's harsh and soft bitterness, subtle and pronounced bitterness and I'd bet there's different flavors of bitterness. Working out those qualities with regards to hop content would be my aim.

I wonder where the tropical and Stone fruit comes from.

I wonder where the tropical and Stone fruit comes from.

Looks like tropical falls in the last 3...not sure about stonefruit. This is also fun to play with to get an idea oh what the hops may do for a beer.  http://scottjanish.c...oils-calulator/

These pages must not load quite right on mobile. I'm not seeing that stuff you pasted.

That’s useful for dry hops and whirlpool hops but less so for mid boil additions an even less so for bittering additions

Agree 100% and I was focusing on his aroma comment.  

 

eta: mid boil .. who even uses those anymore.

I dunno. I haven't seen a lot of theory or study in first addition bittering contribution on the type of bitterness achieved lately. It's all been the same old, 60 minute is not flavor, just bitterness. I'm sure the hop type and it's content types contribute to a different bitterness perceptions. It might be a tougher sell for many.

 

This is all conjecture on my part. 

[Genesee Ted]

Maybe. Probably some difference measurable some way. I don’t seem to be able to tell the difference.

[djinkc]

I think the high coho hops can give a pretty good slap.  Sometimes it's good and sometimes not
