<p>I am not sure where else to post this but this site has a really cool bar graph of the different flavours for hops. It isn't comprehensive but it is pretty good. It rates each hop for floral, fruity, citrus, herb, earthy, pine and spicy</p>

<p>NZ or English fuggles? There seems to be a big influence of terroir with fuggles, with the NZ-grown crop being (to my taste) a lot less smooth. Spicier, a bit harsher, less sweet (similar to the difference between NZ vs US cascade). But still a great hop, no question. Under-rated nowadays - a little overshadowed by newfangled varieties.</p>

<p>I'm just drinking an ESB brewed recently (95% Maris Otter, 5% Medium Crystal, 1968 for yeast) with 30g fuggles at 10, 0 and 40g for a dry hop addition. Amazing marmalade type flavour and aroma, part of which is probably due to the yeast, but a large other part is probably due to the hops. Definitely an under rated hop!</p>

<p>I wonder if a good experiment would be to do an early bittering addition and then put all the rest of the hops in at flame out?</p>

<p>Well... as the dude said, there are other compounds in the wort that "solubilise" (his word) the various oils and keeps them from being boilt off. I read Stan Heironymus's book "For the love of hops"recently, and its full of interesting stuff. I highly recommend it.</p>

<p>I have been using "hop bursting" for all my apa's and ipa's as of late. That being massive late hop additions. For the last few, I did my bittering addition at 30mins, and then had additions every 5 minutes after that to a calculated IBU of 60 odd.</p>
<p>With one of them, I bottled a dozen before i dry hopped to compare. The hop bursting adds a SUBSTANTIAL amount of hop aroma and flavour. While the dry hopped samples had a lot more aroma to begin with, as it aged, they were pretty close to the same.</p>
<p>This seems to indicate that the aroma and flavour derived from late hop and flameout additions was more stable in the long run. I have kept some aside to see how they fare over another few months. They are about four months old now</p> The way I read it was that dr…tag:www.forum.realbeer.co.nz,2013-04-23:1500433:Comment:1772062013-04-23T04:47:28.204ZScarrfiehttp://www.forum.realbeer.co.nz/profile/Scarfie
<p>The way I read it was that dry hopping is still best for aroma, but flavour hops would work well as the wort is chilling down. But I linked the video because this was all new to me and a good advancement of my knowledge. <span style="font-size: 13px;">The boiling points of the different oils was really interesting. I skipped the first 10 mins or so as it seems to be waffle :-)</span></p>

<p>The video was interesting. They talked a lot about aroma rather than flavour. My understanding was ~ 10 minute additions added hop flavour to a beer and late hops and dry hops add aroma. Is this correct?</p>
<p>But he said aroma additions at flame out basically boiled off and aromatics. But added when the wort was down to ~ 50 degrees C gave you your best bang for your buck for allowing the aromatics to become soluble but not being boiled off. </p>
