So I was gifted some New Zealand hops that I'd like to use in my next brew. The trouble is, I haven't a clue what style of recipe to make using these. I'm sure I could always go the pale ale or IPA route, but I wanted to see what everyone else thinks.
I have on hand:
1 oz Pacific Jade (no idea what the AA% is since it wasn't labeled, but I'm sure it's high)
1 oz Green Bullet (I think in the AA% is around 15)
2 row base malt
Cargill Caramel 30 6-row
I also have (if needed):
Cascade hops (lots and lots)
East Kent Golding (pounds of it due to a great deal I got through a local brewery)
1 oz Simcoe (I think around 13% AA)
I can buy these grains locally:
Bohemian Pilsner
Honey
Special B
Aromatic
Caramunich 3
Light Wheat
Carafa 2
Carafa 3
Munich 2
Melinoidin
Black
Carahell
Roast
Choclate Wheat
Crystal 20
Crystal 60
I was thinking of using the Pacific Jade as more of a late boil/flame out addition for flavor and aroma since it apparently has nice properties for that.
So given those puzzle pieces, what ale style would YOU design?
Thanks for your input!
