Grains/Fermentables
Hops
Directions
NZ Super Alpha hops have high AA's, but are supposed to have a nice lemongrass flavor when used as finishing. Will let you know how it turns out. I'm calling it Super Kiwi not because of any actual Kiwi flavoring, but as a nod to the New Zealand Hops.
- 1 lb Belgian Biscuit
- 6 lbs Light LME
- 1.5 Alfalfa Honey
Hops
- .5 NZ Super Alpha (13.3%) - 60 min
- .5 NZ Super Alpha (13.3%) - 15 min
- 1 NZ Super Alpha (13.3%) - 5 min
Directions
- Steep the Belgian Biscuit malt at 160° or so for 30 minutes in 1 gal of water, while heating 2 gallons of water to a boil in a bigger pot (I do this because it takes so long for water to boil).
- Dump the wort from the Biscuit into the other pot, and add 3 lbs of the LME and the first round of hops.
- Add the honey, the rest of the LME and the 2nd batch of hops after 45 minutes.
- After 55 minutes, add the remaining hops.
