MI Homebrew with west coast hopping.

Sun Jan 21, 2007 1:47 pm

Hello,
I'm new to the BN but think it's great.Jamil show is my fav, and the sunday show rocks.Anyone heard of Sorachi Ace hops from Sapporo Brewery in Japan? I just got a couple ounces and they smell great, citrusy,lemony high alpha hop,I think i'll brew an IPA with only these hops to showcase them. If anyone has used these I'm curious as to how the smell translates into the beer?
Cheers From Hickchigan!

Welcome to the forum, terd. I haven't heard of those hops, but I went on a tour of the Sapporo brewery outside of Tokyo 3 years ago. Couldn't understand a fucking word that tour chick said. But, the free samples of thier black beer were good.
