I guess one aspect is that if you're using yeast that give significant biotransformation then you lose some intensity whilst gaining complexity, and that may take you make under any sensory max-out threshold.<br /><br />Been quite a bit of work done on terroir effects in hops, some of Ali Capper's presentations have compared UK, US, NZ, and I'm sure this used to have more graphs but includes data from different farms within Willamette Valley as well as between countries : http://simplyhops.co.uk/news/cascade/qqnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-78151366150253669022018-04-25T18:10:44.707+01:002018-04-25T18:10:44.707+01:00I can't help but think you get diminishing ret...I can't help but think you get diminishing returns using that much though. Cascade is now grown all over, I think Lupofresh were looking into the differences in plants grown in various countries.

That's almost a minimum now, Cloudwater and others are doing 25g/l total hops, and almost all of that is after the boil.<br /><br />On the variability between seasons - it's noticeable that the Cascade shows less variability, which one might expect from the near-desert conditions of Yakima. European hop-growing regions have far more vintage variation - last August's dull weather had a noticeable effect on the 2017 harvest in Kent.<br /><br />Thanks for this though, always interesting to see this kind of thing.qqnoreply@blogger.com
