Nelson Sauvin Pale Ale

[hopcycle]

I just tasted the first bottle of my Nelson Sauvin ale. The grain bill and hopping schedule are as follows.

1 tsp gypsum for a 15L batch. Yes, horrible efficiency !!!

This tastes great....nice quenching malt with good hop bite and flavour. I love Nelson Sauvin...quite a complex hop aroma and flavour....

Should be about 5.5% by my reckoning.

That's all I've got to say

OG 1050

I reckon it looks great, I've got a NS really pale ale on tap ATM and I think that wheat is what might be missing from it. All I used was Pils & a touch of Caramalt with NS all the way through. I have to be careful with those late additions too, for me, that much NS in the last 15 mins is a little too much.



Wait, did I just type that? Me, too much hops? Ahhhh, back to bed.............

That will be a kick ass beer!
Almost identical to my NS House Ale, and single handedly responsible for getting a couple of my mates into homebrewing.

Mine looks like this:

4kg BB Pale Malt
15g NS @ 30min
10g NS @ 10min
10g NS @ Flameout
NO CHILL
20g NS dry hop after 7 days

US-05 @ 18 deg.

bloody beautiful.....

I can't get enough of NS.

Being an inexperienced extract brewer, my best batches have been single hop NS beers. Even my wife likes them.

70g at 0 minutes = passionfruit cheesecake.

I ODed on Nelson. It ended up getting on my nerves.

Now I'm working my way through a pound of Citra (highly recommended to those NS lovers).

If Citra was a woman, I'd want to make love to her :icon_drool2:
