Went into Beerbelly Friday to pick up some grain to Brew a Smurtos Golden double Saturday.
While I was there Amanda had been packing off some Pacific Jade Hops from NZ they had just got in and they smelt bloody awesome.... Lots of Citrus aromas.. I just had to buy them.
When I started brewing Saturday I couldn't resist dumping the Amarillo and subbing all the Pacific Jade.
Some quick alterations to the recipe in Beersmith While I was waiting for the mash.....
Being 13.7% AA .
Cant wait for this now to see how it tastes.
this is the description from the Hop Data Sheet.
This variety is the most recent release out of the New Zealand Hop Research

This variety is the most recent release out of the New Zealand Hop Research
Programme selected on its average alpha of 12-14% with Cohumulone in the
region of 24% and an excellent oils profile. The aroma of this hop is
described as "bold" as it delivers a herbal infusion of fresh citrus and crushed
black pepper. Brewing trials have illustrated Pacific Jade as an excellent hop
that delivers a pleasing soft bitterness matched to desirable aroma
characteristics.
