New Zealand Lager.

[Disco_tezz]

Hi Guys,

I am wanting to brew a NZ style lager for my Father inlaw,

He is from there, and is currently over there stuck in hospital after breaking both his arms, breaking his leg, and needing a knee reconstruction, after falling off a 3m high wall.

I was planning on using Pacific Gem Pellets, Hallertau NZ Pellets and Nelson Sauvin pellets, but i am having trouble locating some of these hops,

Can anyone suggest a good substitute for the Hallertau NZ Pellets and Nelson Sauvin pellets?

or does someone have a good Recipie for a NZ style Lager,

This was to be a full extract beer, i would prefer not to do a K&K,

Any Help would be great.

Terence

Hey Tezz

I reckon Green Bullet is more what you're looking for if you want an NZ style lager. Great hop too.

Maybe some extra light malt extract, small amount of sugar to lighten the body (say 10%) and around 25 IBUs of Green Bullet with say 3 of the IBUs in the last 15 minutes of the boil.

Ferment with a good clean/neutral lager yeast like S189 at 12 degrees and Bob's your uncle.

Hi Warren,

I don't have beer smith or anything like that, so what quantities of Hops would i need to achieve that result.
I assume this is for a 60 minute boil?

Something like this just for an example Tezz. GB is great loads of AAUs but still very smooth. Great aroma too.

this guy wants you to buy his recipes?! whata tight arse. he probably stole them off AHB anyway

Sorry citymorgue, i should have been more specific, i was after The NZ crop, as i was making a NZ lager,

Would there be much difference between the NZ crop and a german crop, or am i just being too picky?

 

[Dave86]

It depends if you want hallertau or pacific hallertau. Pacific hallertau are a different variety developed in NZ, never used them so can't comment on how they differ. G&G still have nelson sauvin, you might just need to do two orders if your set on using these three

Dave

 

[brettprevans]

yeah I should have picked that up without you needing to tell me. I dont think it would make a notible differance in such small quantities, esp as your making a K&K.

I am not really set on anything, If some knows of a good lager combination, i will change the hops, But as i was aiming for a NZ lager, i figured i would need NZ hops.

i am not after the Pacific Hallertau,
this is the one i was after, because it was a NZ hop

the plan was for full extract not K&K

sorry i assumed K&K. then if your using to bitter etc it might make a differance but really in the end it will be good either way,
