Brewers like it because it brings serious aroma without being overly delicate. Very popular because of its prized tropical notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlpha Acids:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 – 14%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.0 – 2.5 mL\/100g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pellet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Substitutions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summit, Citra (in some recipes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimachief.com\/commercial\/hop-varieties\/simcoe-brand.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMore tech specs here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eWorks well for bittering thanks to its solid alpha acids, but it really shines in late additions and dry hopping. It plays nicely in both classic West Coast IPAs and more modern, fruitier styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eDry hop 2–4 oz total in 5 gallons is a common range for good impact to deliver the fruit notes. Some people push higher (5–6+ oz), especially in very hop-forward beers, but it can get quite resinous and dank if overdone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBest for: Late boil, whirlpool, and dry hopping. Brew day tip: Add late or as a dry hop to preserve the brighter citrus and berry notes. It pairs especially well with Citra, Mosaic, and Amarillo.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42571840880725,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/0089\/1733\/files\/simcoe-hops-pale-ale-tropical-setting.jpg?v=1780612975","url":"https:\/\/doubledank.beer\/products\/simcoe-hops","provider":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
