I keep going back to this superb hop.What a wonderful taste and aroma


Might have to try it ,with a wy3068

I love this hop. I brewed Ross's NS Summer Ale recipe, with the exception that I fermented it with a Swiss Lager yeast at 12 C. It's a great session beer. I am doing the exact same thing again for the HAG case swap.

 

[Stuster]

Interesting. I'm not sure I'm game to try that, but if you do, tell us how it went.

 

[milpod]

The 3068 and ns in the same brew?

I'm usually a style nazi,but this one makes me wonder

 

[Vlad the Pale Aler]

Drinking a very basic NS lager now, very nice indeed, maybe a bit too much NS in the finish but still a very drinkable beer.

JW pilsner 75%
Cara pils 5%
Acid malt 2%
Cane sugar 18%

super alpha 60 mins 12 ibu
ns 30 mins 10 ibu
ns 15 mins 8 ibu
load of ns for aroma
San Francisco lager yeast

I made a wheat ale with WLP001 a while back with nothin but NS.

http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...&recipe=206

It was a nice beer but could have dome with more malt to back the hops up. maybe 10% carahell would pick it up and ballance the extra bitterness, especially i using a dry neutral yeast.

I recon it would be great with 3086. maybe 50% munich pils withe the wheat. I you add more hoppiness.... add more maltiness to ballance.

cheers

I just knocked this one up, been in the fermenter for 6 days now. It's my first go with NS.

Tony I dont think the Weisbier I'm making needs any more malt backbone,have melanoidin in it

If anything maybe a touch more @ 60 mins.

But I'm willing too decoct the mash,to get it right.

Have fallen inlove with 3068

Works great! BUT you have to keep the bittering to 12 - 15 IBU otherwise the hops swamp the Banana esters produced by the yeast. Cascade is another great mixer with this yeast but you need to keep the bittering low and toss in a small amount at flameout. Very difficult to balance at this level but makes a cracker if you get it right.

 

[Brewer_010]

I am a big fan of this hop after trying it the first time about 9 months ago. I've used it in a wheat and it does need malt to balance it, but it has a sensational aroma and flavour, very unique.

This evening I have just bunged down a FWK amarillo ale and dropped in 15g NS flowers and 25g amarillo....mmmm smells good.

When I get time soon I am going to brew a partial with a fair bit of NS flavouring/aroma (1.5-2g/L) with southern cross as the bittering hop - I tried this some time ago and I thought the combination was excellent, although the malt was a bit too dominant IMHO.

 

[milpod]

Pellets or Flowers Browndog?

Very similar to my house ale,what a good drop.

Always have ns flowers on hand,everyone loves the taste...from wine to honey

Pellets Milpod, I tried the knappstein reserve lager and thought "jeez, I gotta get me some NS"

Try the flowers dude,smooths out the taste

Ns has been my hop of choice for so long now,I cant remember beer without it.

Nevermind Greenbullet is now on my must do list

I totally agree. I love the flavour & aroma from this hop but find it to be too coarse for bittering. & a small amount goes along way for flavour & aroma additions.

I also use it a lot, in the mash, for American IPA's.

Overall I really like this hop but I either try to blend it, at lower amounts, in APA's or AIPA's, or use it 100% in late hop/hopburst beers.

IMO it's a great hop but can get a little OTT if your heavy handed with it.

Man i'd love to have a crack at cascade and ns in 3068 morph .But i cant see them together in the the same brew.

But Hb is about pushing limits

your right of course, we were getting carried away with it,yep ott

I did Tony's bright Ale last night and as soon as I opened the pouch of cascade, I thought.. mmmmmm, I wonder how these would go with some NS, but with soething a bit more malty to back it up. Never thought of 3068 though. Maybe you're onto something milpod

 

[milpod]

Dude ,I have shitload of cascade and I'm always plumb with NS flowers.

My yeastbank has 3068 at single usage.

I'm good for the Job

My records r good,i'll post differences,but dont take my results as gospel.

I'll experiment,but in the end i'm A SYTLE NAZI.

My family fav is Roger Watson. A roggen Weizen (wheat and Rye)

Hop bill is basically 54% Ale Malt, 22% Rye Malt, 22% Wheat Malt, 2% Med Crystal
NB for bittering (low 16 IBU)
10g Amarillo @20 min addition.
10g Cascade @5 min addition.
3068 yeast fermented @ 21C

Added NS flowers to the last couple with great results, one dry hopped and the other, cascade was replaced with NS flowers. Muckinrefarkable.

Gotta keep the IBU low and let the Banana shine.

I'm with you Screwy. I've the best part of a bag of NS and my notes from a while ago record its best as a finishing / dry hop (did two) better results using NB for bittering.
