August meet

Thanks Gone Brewing for hosting and Mrs endisnigh for driving my drunk bum home.

Great beers and quite inspiring with the level of quality and experimentation you guys are up to.



Below is the recipe for the American Wheat with Nelson. Of note I must have dropped the total mash quantities as this is only 4.7% and not the 5+% I usually brew at.

First time tasting a beer with Nelson. It's so lovely and intense by itself, has anyone tried successfully to mix it with other hops?

 

[Peter80]

I have read it does not like to be mixed with others but also that it can with something like cascade. I have only used it once so can not say from experience.

A few years back I made an APA with cascade and NS together. It turned out OK.
