This really turned out great, the only thing I would do is drop the carapils down a bit. The Nelson Sauvin hops really shine, such a unique flavor. Glad I bought a pound, but I'm sure I'll wish I would have got more.

Going to brew this again today. Will drop the carapils down to 1 pound and up the vienna to 4 lbs 8oz.
I kegged 5 gallons and bottled 2+ cases of this stuff 2 weeks ago. All that is left is case and three bottles I'm saving for the fair comp. I took two bottles to the club meeting and it was vary well recieved.

A little up date on this beer. I won best of show at our local county fair. I entered this and a Kolsch which I got a blue ribbon for. First time I have had any of my beers judged. Feels good.

Couple pics.

I've done this a couple of more times with 1 oz. NS FWH. It is a great beer. Someone should really give it a try.

**PJM** · 12-16-2012, 12:25 PM

This looks very interesting. I have been looking for a recipe that uses NS. Will put this on my list to brew.

**rossi46** · 12-16-2012, 06:58 PM

Yeah, give it a try. If you like NS hops you'll like it. I like to do an extra FWH with the NS. My coworkers and friends love it. It's quickly becoming the house favorite.

**govner1** · 01-01-2013, 02:14 AM

Brewed my first batch of this today. I used a FWH of Ahthanum & WY1262. Hit the OG @ 1.054 dead on. Pitched the yeast @ 64.

**rossi46** · 01-01-2013, 04:29 AM

Nice, report back when ready.

I'm going to brew something like this soon but ahtanum and Amarillo in aroma/flavor and something nondescript for bittering
