I'm brewing (just added flavor hops) a pils with Pac. Gem hops for bittering and Nelson Sauvin for flavor and aroma. Just added the first bit of Nelson Sauvin hops and wow.... what a smell. No way to describe it - a blast of piney hoppy resin and tropical fruit. I've had Mikeller single hop IPA with NS hops and decided that a hopped up imperial pils with these might be interesting. I've posted recipe below:
Batch Size: 3 gal
OG: 1.066
7 lbs pilsner malt
0.3 lbs Cara-Pils
41.2 IBU Pacific Gem at 60 min
19.1 IBU Nelson Sauvin at 20 min
2.7 IBU Nelson Sauvin at 2 min
Using S-23 dry lager yeast because I was too lazy to make a starter and this is really just a test batch. Figured some one here might be interested in a recipe like this. I will definitely post results!
PS: wow, I can smell the Sauvin hops from the kitchen and it really is incredible!
