Summer Hops

[SimoB]

Hello fellow brewers..

I have an abundance of Summer Hops, about 800g and they haven't been my hop of choice and has sat in the freezer for ages. Mainly because I don't really know how to use it that well.

I want to make a dent in this hop supply - anyone got a recipe suggestion that uses Summer a heap and that tastes amazing???

To help I have the following on hand.

Malt
Munich
Vienna
Pils
Victory
Midnight wheat
carapils
dark crystal

Hops
SUMMER!!
Galaxy
Citra
Mosiac
Centennial
Cascade
Perle
Saaz
Goldings home grown flowers


I could try whip something myself but hoping someone could help with the whole Summer hop thing.

Cheers!

Big IPA dry hopped with summer?

They went pretty decent along with galaxy in a stone & wood pacific ale inspired pale ale a mate of mine did.

Also not too bad paired with ella in an amberish ale (ala stone & wood garden ale).

I was thinking something along those lines. Anyone used it for bittering and early on in the boil?

I've used it quite a bit. Use lots is my advice.
Something like this?
Just chucked it together based on my last few summer-based ales.

Nice one - I have a small amount of ella. not enough though. Maybe a galaxy and summer combo - I have a shedload of galaxy as well.
