Hi brewing a lager with nelson sauvin hops 1 oz and was hoping for some suggestions.
Thanks in advance
Man down

Wasn't sure how much should be put in, for bittering, flavoring, aroma, I also have an oz of willamette and cascade if I need to do something different.

I had never heard of these before. Now I'll have to try them.

Look here for ideas.

The classic lager hop scheduled is 2/5 bittering, 2/5 flavor and 1/5 for aroma. It might not work so well with today's high alpha hops.

With what you have (and having no clue about the recipe) I'd say 1oz Cascade at 60, 1 oz Nelson Sauvin at 15, and .5oz Willamette at 1.

The recipe is pretty simple 1 lb flaked maize, 8oz rice sugar, 3 lbs extra light dme (briess). So there's really not a lot going on. I was trying to just use the NS hops, but wasn't sure if it was feasible. I guess I was more questioning about the bittering side of things.

I've never used them in a lager, but they are wonderfully potent in aroma/flavor. Perhaps bitter with something else.

ended up doing a .25 at 60. .25 at 15. and .5 at 5. It's in the freezer fermenting away, i'll give a heads up in about a month and a half i guess. That's if my kegs come in, if not i guess it will lager longer.

in the keg definitely tastes... well i'll see how it tastes in a week

I did a mostly Nelson Sauvin ale on the 4th. It's ready. I had a few other brewers over yesterday. We tasted and agreed they do taste something like wine.

i think the grapefruit is definitely out front, reserving judgement for awhile though.

 

[chrismcdaniel3128]

kegs empty probably do this one again a.g.

I am also looking for Nelson. As with anything with brewing I am told to be patient. It should be around the corner.( months not seconds.. )

I just had an IPA brew from the Elysian (Seattle brewery) that has NS. I thought it was very good. Definitely had grapefruit aroma and flavor.

Their description:
"IDIOT SAUVIN
You're not as smart as you think you are. An IPA showcasing the distinct citrus and passion fruit character of Nelson Sauvin hops."

I am from NZ - I currently have a kit beer in the fermented that I boiled some DME and some Sauvin and Saaz hops to try to get more of an IPA. After the initial fermentation i dry hopped with some more... the smell when i took the lid off was AMAZING... lots of grapefruit but also some passion fruit - really quite tropical...

So yeah go Nelson Sauvin!!!
