Just ordered 2 oz from Northern Brewer. If you've used them, was it
only for bittering?
Here's their description:
Typical alpha: 17.0 - 19.0%. A brand new super-high alpha dwarf variety
grown on low trellis systems in the Yakima valley. It has a low
cohumulone content with a strong orange/tangerine citrus character.
I'm thinking American IPA similar to a Bells 2 Hearted ale since it has
a citrus quality. Will use these for bittering, Centennial for
flavor/aroma.

I used 1 oz at 18% in a high gravity (1.078 OG, 1.019 FG) steam beer a
while ago. It turned out great - crisp, doesn't overpower the malt at
all. I used 1 oz Summit at 60 min, then 1 oz Northern Brewer at 30 min
and another 1 oz Northern Brewer at 5 min.

It'd probably be stellar in an IPA!

I made an IPA with Summit and Columbus hops last month. 1.061 OG,
1.021 FG, First wort hopped 1 oz. Summit (17.7% alpha), .5 oz. Columbus
for 60 minutes, .5 oz Columbus for 5 minutes and dry hopped with 1 oz.
Columbus. Wyeast 1272 (American Ale II).
The flavor is exactly as advertised with very smooth bittering. This
was my 1st pass at this recipe. Next time I'll probably eliminate the
60 minute addition. I may even go Summit only.

Vladimir, I was curious what your mash temp was, or if extract, what
brand you used. Glad it turned out well to your tastes, but you ABV
would have been 5.25%, a little low for an IPA, and the FG was quite
high. Your attenuation was just 65%. Specs on that yeast predict
72-76%.
(I know I'm butting in here, as you're not the OP, nor did you ask,
but I'm naturally curious about these things. Forgive me.)

Haven't tried them yet, but being a hophead I got to get my hands on some of
these. I make almost exclusively IPAs and IIPAs and I can imagine summit
would go great with some amarillo and simcoe, which is currently may
favorite hop.
