Pale/bright ale - which hop?

[drfad]

I'm going to be putting down a pale or bright ale in the next couple of days. Last one I put down was a stone and wood clone which cleaned me out of galaxy. I want to do another similar beer but only have centennial, cascade and Nelson sauvin left.
I use a tin each of light and ultra light malt extract and sometimes some steeped grain.

Does anyone have a hop schedule that I might follow for a single hop, or even a combo of the above for a session style up to 5.8% or so?

Cheers
Fad

Hey Fad,

I used this schedule earlier this year for a lawnmower pale ale which came out a treat:

30g Centennial @ 30 minutes
15g Nelson Sauvin @ 10 minutes
20g Nelson Sauvin @ 0 min (30 min steep)
25g Nelson Sauvin dry hop

So I actually found I had another pouch of galaxy so I made the same one again. I have another fermenter I want to fill though so might try this. Do you find the Nelson sauvin is really strong? I've read it can over power.

If you want to try NS, you can use the schedule from this: http://aussiehomebrewer.com/recipe/199-nelson-sauvin-summer-ale/ .

Use some software / ianh's spreadsheet to work out any changes you might need if you aren't doing a full volume boil.

you either have a head as hard as rock or we have very different ideas of what constitutes a 'session'

Personally I haven't yet made a beer with NS that I particularly like, but given others comments I'm probably in the minority so I'll keep trying. Centennial and cascade in combo are pretty awesome - I've tried various combos and schedules for those two and liked them all.

i agree on the Cent/Casc combo!
