It brings a distinctive piney, resinous character with grapefruit and spicy herbal undertones.

It holds up well in bigger beers (stouts, barleywines, strong IPAs) where lighter hops tend to fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eDry hopping rates have increased in recent years. 2–4 oz total in 5 gallons is a common range for good piney\/resinous impact. Some people push higher (5–6+ oz), but results vary and it can get resinous or astringent if overdone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBest for: Bittering, late boil, whirlpool, and dry hopping. Brew day tip: Use earlier in the boil if you want clean bitterness, or late\/whirlpool\/dry hop if you want more of the pine and grapefruit to come through. Plays well with Centennial, Citra, and Simcoe.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42568026882133,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/0089\/1733\/files\/chinook-hops-golden-amber-ale-forest-porch.jpg?v=1780517373","url":"https:\/\/doubledank.beer\/products\/chinook-hops","provider":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
