Hows it taste/smell?
Were you aiming for a blonde/ faux lager?

Well in an attempt to educate myself on varius hops i have been started doing some single hop beers, i did an all czech saaz and it was quite nice, and after reading the "Wars" about POR i have decided to make a single hop pride of ringwood beer.. anyone have a suggested hop schedule?

i have read its rubbish for flavour and aroma, should i just bitter to 25ibu?

I've been experimenting with an aussie ale with POR pellets Troy, sticking with the same grain bill and mash temp but playing with the hop additions. I bittered 30 to 35IBU and it was fine, I tried

15g@60min
15g@20min
15g@5min

then

20g@60min
15g@5min

then

30g@60min

and the winner was..................................30g@60mins. This left a reasonably clean bittered beer, but you could definitely tell it was POR. The others were just too hoppy to suit the style.

cheers

Sorry Lowtech, didn't see this until now.

First time I'd used these hops so I wasn't sure quite what to expect but it had that Sav blanc flavour and aroma although the nose faded over time. Not as pronounced as the Knappstein Enterprise.
I wanted a lighter clean finish so mashed at 64 and fermented with US05 at 16C.
It's an enjoyable beer but not probably one I'd want to drink all the time.

I really don't know where the "max 25 IBUs" rule came from with POR. I've gone WAY over 25 IBUs and its been fine. Strangely similar outcome to what you'd expect from almost any other bittering hop (shocking I know!). Anyway, I would say as long as the BU:GU is sensible (ie in style), >25IBUs of POR is just fine.

Thanks Warren, came very close to a stuck sparge but it slowly made the required pre boil volume, needed some rice hulls [gulls Tony] which I did not have.

Smelt like Fuggles so I did a Google search and foud this:

Styrian Golding
imported pellets from Slovenia

Styrian Golding is popular and rare.
Styrian Golding hops are grown in Slovenia as an old traditional favorite.
It is the same variety as the English Fuggle hop,
although the climatelogical differences make the Slovenian offering a bit higher.

The alpha rating is usually 4.5 - 6.0%

So it's not a type of Goldings, I didn't know that. :huh:

And this:

Styrian Goldings
(seedless Fuggles) Yugoslavia 4 to 7 % Bittering, aroma and dry hopping all English ales, some Belgian ales and some lagers
Despite its name, it is a variety of Fuggle, grown seedless in Slovenia. It is delicate and slightly spicy. Fuggle is a substitute.

 

[warrenlw63]

Bindi won't be like Fuggles at all in the finished beer. It's quite orangey in the marmalade sense. Sometimes has a hint of vanilla too.

As you'd probably know great for Belgians too.

Very true about Belgians and SG, but as you know the yeast drives [has a lot to do] with them. B)

Inspired by the hand-balled IPA of a few weeks ago?

I put my hand up to be your first "taste tester" when this one's ready
