Switch Nelson & Centennial around, but either way - not too much. Lovely combo though. I have a fair amount of both in the freezer, so fantastic to hear how it turns out.

looks alright to me, but a centennial dry hop could improve it imo. and maybe add some crystal unlesss you want it pretty dry.

 

[hijax]

so maybe 250grms of carared?

 

[DUANNE]

i havent used carared before usually using caramunich in this sort of beer but quantity seems alright to me.

I recently did some reading online re: use of Nelson Sav. General consensus is:

- Use NS for late/dry hopping
- Use NS in moderation
- NS works well with other fruity/resiney hops e.g Galaxy, American C-hops etc

Great advice guys! Thanks very much!

 

[Pennywise]

big +1 for some crystal malt in there, depending on what type, I'd go 200g dark, or 3-400g pale (something like CaraMalt). CaraRed wont go astray at the suggested amounts

 

[Shifter]

Oh yeah to the recipe and some CaraRed! Wonderful.

Thanks for all the great advice guys. Have taken it all onboard and tweaked the recipe again. I think its looking pretty good now. Will put this one down tonight and report back.

Thanks again.
