Or is it just Z-APA (I'll probably just go with Gusso's Garage Beer)? I brewed my first beer using Zappa hops yesterday. I used Lutra (dry) yeast and the gravity is down from 1.072 to 1.016 in 24 hours. I bittered with CZT (1 oz) for my 30 minute boil, followed by a WP with 1 oz of cascade and 2 oz of Zappa. I will DH with the same. I got a spicy, pepper sort of vibe from them when I weighed them out. The descriptions for Zappa are all over the map. We shall see how they work out soon.

Just kegged this up. The sample has potential. I'll dive in deep on the 4th of July.

it did have a different odor when I was resealing that one up.  since I was in a rush I didn't take my time to really evaluate it though.

can I get a review on how this beer turned out?  I know it's been a while but hopefully you still remember. :cheers:

I honestly don't remember the specifics. I just remember it being tasty but I think I would use a bit more next time.

based on reviews this is a "love it or hate it" kind of hop.  apparently it's really intense based on the reviews.

A couple a quarts of beer will fix it so the intonation would not offend your ear
