Late additions bring spicy and herbal notes. It shines in bigger, bolder beers where more delicate hops tend to disappear.\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 solid impact. Some people push higher in very hop-forward beers, but it can get quite dank and resinous quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBest for: Bittering, late boil, whirlpool, and dry hopping. Brew day tip: Use early in the boil for clean bitterness, or late\/whirlpool\/dry hop if you want the spicy and herbal character to come through. Plays well with Chinook, Simcoe, and Citra.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42571721998421,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/0089\/1733\/files\/columbus-ctz-hops-deep-golden-ale-dark-table.jpg?v=1780611298","url":"https:\/\/doubledank.beer\/products\/columbus-ctz-hops","provider":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
