Brewer notes
Chinook Hop Extract is a US hop variety. Use its published variety profile as a starting point and judge aroma from the crop and product in hand. Flexible enough for both bittering and later flavour/aroma additions. The catalogue alpha-acid default is 58.8%; always use the value printed on the current packet or lot for bitterness calculations.
