In the order Cloudburst Brewing lists them: Not Interested American Brown Ale | 5.6% ABV | 33 IBU Hey. Hi. Over here. We’d like to reintroduce you to one of our most exciting enthralling GROUNDBREAKING recipes of all time – our blessed BROWN ALE. Yes, like brown in color. No, we didn’t use any adjuncts. I mean, we did use some Golden Naked Oats – so if you like, you can call it an oatmeal brown ale. But mostly we used a plethora of othe...

New to hop talk? What these words mean
- Bitterness (alpha acid)
- How much bite a hop gives when it's boiled. Under 5% is gentle, 13%+ is a bruiser. It's why a West Coast IPA snaps and a pilsner doesn't.
- Aroma oil
- The smelly part of the hop — where the citrus, pine and tropical fruit come from. More oil, more punch when it's added late or dry-hopped.
- Myrcene, humulene…
- The main oils. Lots of myrcene reads fruity and resinous; humulene and caryophyllene read woody, herbal, spicy.
- Aroma / bittering / dual purpose
- What brewers mostly use the hop for: smell, bite, or both.
- Fresh (wet) hop
- Hops straight from the field into the beer, same day, never dried. Only at harvest, late August into October.
- Cryo, CGX, LupoMax, Incognito
- The same hop, processed: concentrated powder or extract, for more aroma with less vegetal taste.
