Review: MoreBeer’s Hop Gatherer – Sierra Nevada Hop Hunter IPA Clone + LIMITED TIME DEAL

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Brad Probert.  Brad is an engineer, expert homebrewer and experienced reviewer.  Grab a link to Brad’s website at the end of this review.

MoreBeer’s Hop Gatherer – Sierra Nevada Hop Hunter IPA Clone – Recipe Kit

Hop Gatherer is an IPA. The recipe is inspired by Sierra Nevada Hop Hunter IPA, which actually isn’t brewed by them anymore. It was brewed using some fancy method supposedly of steam distilling wet hops into a condensed oil while still in the field. It’s hard to imagine all of that, but I did remember liking the beer, so I thought I’d give this recipe a try. They had two versions of this kit, one with El Dorado hops, and one with Chinook. I opted for the El Dorado.

Contents of Kit

I ordered un-milled grains, as I like to have control of the grain crush. The malts were packaged in pre-measured bags, with malts from Viking, Great Western Malting, and a package of flaked oats. Therefore it was easy to cross-reference to the recipe card to confirm I got the right amounts of everything. The hops came in light-proof, thick bags, where the hops were nitrogen flushed before bagging. In addition to the pellet hops, there was a tiny vial of concentrated hop oil. There was also a tablet of something called Kick Carrageenan, a clarifier used in the boil kettle. The recipe kits from MoreBeer don’t come with a specific yeast, instead they give you a list of yeast recommendations from the different yeast vendors they carry (White Labs, Wyeast, Gigayeast, Imperial, and Fermentis Dry). I went for the GY001 – NorCal Ale #1. Gigayeast packages contain 200 billion yeast cells, which on the package they say can be used as a straight pitch without a starter to ferment 5 gallons of wort up to 1.070 gravity. So that’s a great time saver. The yeast came inside a well-padded plastic envelope with 6 small ice packs. It had a cross-country journey from California to Michigan in the middle of summer, so in an unrefrigerated FedEx truck, it didn’t really have much of a chance. The ice packs were all thawed, and the yeast pouch was warm to the touch. Checking the surface of the pouch with my thermometer, it measured 76F. In addition to the ingredients, there was a recipe card with basic brewing directions, a cut-out shape to go with the MoreBeer custom tap handle, and a sheet of basic brewing process tips.

More About This Beer!

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Hop Hunter IPA by Sierra Nevada brewing is the inspiration for this delicious recipe. Hop Gatherer is a Hop Hunter clone, which contains all of the same ingredients as the original beer, but gives you the option of what distilled oil you would like to use. We offer the kit with either Chinook or El Dorado farm distilled hop oil. Either way, this makes a tasty, easy drinking and highly aromatic IPA!

A bit about farm distilled hop oil: Distilled immediatley after picking, farm distilled hop oil gives you the bursting aroma provided by fresh hops. By distilling the oil at the farm, the distinct character of a “wet hop” beer is able to be replicated year round. The oil can be added post fermentation, typically at bottling. You can even add the oil directly to your glass! Be careful, it is VERY POTENT!

Limited Availability: William’s Brewing Annual Holiday Ale Kit

Williams Brewing Holiday Ale

From William’s Brewing: “Our annual William’s Holiday Ale is now available. This has been a crowd pleaser since 1994, and is a gently hopped honey brown ale with hints of orange peel and clove.”

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Since 1994, we have produced a spiced Holiday Ale every year for the Fall and Winter Holiday seasons. The current kit is based on a formulation we first perfected in 1999, and by popular demand, we have settled on this formulation ever since. A spiced honey brown ale, our Holiday Ale is spiced with orange peel, allspice and other spices. The spices balance the sweetness of the honey, and the resulting brown ale has a rich honey malt character and delicate bitterness.

Alcohol: 5.8%, IBU’s 35 Includes 9 lbs. of our blended malt extract and honey, mixed spices, flavoring hops, 125 ml of liquid ale yeast, and corn sugar for carbonation. Makes 5 gallons with a starting gravity of at least 1.058

This is an annual, limited edition kit. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

Palmer Premium Beer Kits – Kent’s Hollow Leg – American Wheat

The award-winning recipe from Brewing Classic Styles by Jamil Zainasheff and John Palmer, prepared and assembled in a ready to brew ingredient kit!

This easy-drinking ale is a perfect thirst quencher for a hot afternoon, or anytime. American wheat beer differs from German wheat beer by having a clean, low ester malt character, and a bit more hop bitterness and aroma to balance it. It is as clean and refreshing as a Kolsch, but at the same time drier and more robust. This is my favorite session beer for an afternoon of yard work; before, during, and after.

American Wheat has a clean crisp malt character, low esters and a smooth hop character. It is a great beer for quenching your thirst, being not too dry, not too light, and not too heavy. This recipe is one of my personal favorites for a session beer.

This homebrew kit makes 5 gallons.

This Kit Includes:

Briess CBW® Dry Malt Extract (DME), Hops, Dry Yeast, Priming Sugar, Brewing Instructions, Recipe Instructions

Statistics:
Gravity (OG) 1.053
Bitterness 23 IBUs
Color 4 SRM
ABV 5.5%
