15.4C now. Cranking hard! Go yeast!

What's with the C?

It's what my temperature controller uses for units.

So one keg got a mix of el dorado and Idaho 7. The other keg citra/Chinook. The first keg had 6oz, the second 4oz. I like the second keg better even though it has less aroma. I kind of wonder if I don't like El dorado quite as much as I thought. Or maybe I just really like citra/Chinook

I like El Dorado in small quantities.  I find when used a lot you get a weird candy fruit thing.

 

ETA - But chinook is awesome!

maybe that's the key.  a light hand.

Yeah the citra/Chinook version is vastly superior to the I7/eld version. The taste is so much smoother. All of the hops are 2020 hops so they should all be good.

It's just good beer.

You know my feelings on Citra and chinook! So for the other version do you think the I7 or Eldorado was to blame?

not high certainty but I think it was too much eldorado.

I can see that.

I can see that.

 

all the times I used it in the past it was at lower levels with other hops mixed in.

I shouldn't say the other version is bad though. I still enjoy it.

[positiveContact]

so now that these beers have been around for a bit they've cleared up pretty well.  they are def different due to the dry hop differences.  I really enjoy them both.  now that they are clear I actually like them a lot more which isn't usually the case for me with my hoppy beers.  not sure what's up with that.
