I'm planning the following for Sunday and am wanting to start putting together brew recipes that could be good for competition - ie. conforming but different enough to stand out.
That said, I am always tweaking my recipes for flavour rather than conformity.
I haven't used challenger for more than a single addition, and never used motueka (B Saaz) before, so a couple of questions: i) is it likely to taste ok and ii) can I still call it an ESB with NZ hops?
I was thinking the orange from the challenger, the earthy and spicy from the challenger and the northern brewer and then the lemon from the moteuka would work together.
If not I could do drop the motueka and substitute for more challenger and run up the union jack.
