My Love Of Hallertau Hops

[devo]

Im'sitting here in front of my puter, half way through my 2nd Oktoberfest mug of AG pilsner that I tapped but only a few days ago. I've been thinking how I have been almost exclusivley using Hallertau hops in my favourite lagers and pilsner recipes of late and really enjoying the results.


I would just like to take this opportunity to declare my love for the Hallertau.

Totally concur! Works well as a single hop for ales and lagers. Also Great as a (FWH) bittering and flava hop in combination with tettnanger.I've been using the NZ organic,which is a mittlefruh derivative in recent times with great results.Nice in a weizen as well.

 

[AngelTearsOnMyTongue]

Well you have my vote. Although I have only used it as an aromatic so far (Northern Brewers or POR for bittering) I will have to give it a go.

I have also noticed it being used for Pilseners but to date have used NB with Saaz.

Again, I will have to try that as well.

Also will have to get a rhizome somewhere along the line.

Used German Hallertau in a Partial, for bittering and flavour ( with a touch of Simcoe ). With 3 kilos of Weyermann Munich.

Partnered with a Grumpys Schultzheiss German Lager Masterbrew.

Fantastic drop.

Love the Hallertau :beer:

While the truth is that I'm enjoying using all sorts of hops as I go along I'll second the use of the NZ one.

I've used it recently in a Bock and a spiced ale and it worked well in both...

I use Hallertau Mittelfrh in my weizen more as flavour and aroma. Less bitterness for this style.

Just kegged a pale ale which I hopped to 40IBU with Hallertau Tradition. Great taste!

Made this Summer Ale style recently with a fair late addition of Hallertau plugs.

To say it come out fantastic would be an understatement. I'd urge anybody to try it. :beerbang:

The Hallertau really shone through nicely.
