Hey All,
Pride of Ringwood seems to get a bit of a bad reputation as it's the main hop used by most Aussie macro breweries. The little bits I've used have had a freakin wonderful smell but I've only ever used it for bittering.
Having a quick chat about it with Dave @ Greensborough Home Brew and another customer a few weeks back made me think it might be worth while giving an all-POR brew a go. The other bloke there was going to try it but was pretty sceptical!
What do you think of the following recipe?
Batch Size: 26.00 L
Boil Size: 31.31 L
Estimated OG: 1.041 SG
Estimated Color: 4.1 SRM
Estimated IBU: 29.5 IBU
Brewhouse Efficiency: 75.00 %
Boil Time: 90 Minutes
Ingredients:
------------
Amount Item Type % or IBU
4.50 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) Grain 100.00 %
20.00 gm Pride of Ringwood [9.00 %] (60 min) Hops 18.4 IBU
20.00 gm Pride of Ringwood [9.00 %] (20 min) Hops 11.1 IBU
10.00 gm Pride of Ringwood [9.00 %] (0 min) Hops -
1 Pkgs American Ale (DCL Yeast #US-05) Yeast-Ale
Probably mashed at about 67 for moderate body; might also just use aussie pale malt instead of the Marris Otter.
Am I nuts?
