Hallertau, Willamette, EKG and Hersbruker...

[hopkincr]

So I just came into some hops from a neighbor (Hallertau, Willamette, EKG and Hersbruker). I have ~2 oz of Hersbruker and a least 8 oz of the rest and looking for some recipe ideas. The first two that I'll be brewing will be an MO/EKG SMaSH and then another Wheat with the Hallertau (already brewed two of these this spring). I've searched the internets for some recipes already and have a few ideas, but was wondering if anyone have a favorite? Octoberfest? ESB? I usually brew 3.5 gallon batches so these hops will last a while. Thanks, in advance, for the suggestions.

I would do a German pils if you are able to lager. I've been meaning to do one for the summer. 95% Pils, 5% Melanoidin, a half ounce of Hersbruker at 15 minutes and flame out, Hallertau to 35 total IBU at 60 minutes. Target an OG of 1.046 or so. Ferment with the lager yeast of your choice.

Great suggestion. I, unfortunately, don't have the capacity to lager at this point (should have mentioned that at the beginning).

Do a saison. It's summer, after all! EKG and Willamette (and the others too!) are all great in a spicy saison. Throw some wheat and maybe a little roasted malt in there too and you could make a damn tasty saison!

Same recipe, Kolsch yeast. Maybe add 5% wheat malt.

I was just thinking about the Kolsch yeast. I'll give it a try with the 5% wheat.

For the Kolsch, I would sub regular Munich for the Melanoidin. 5% Melanoidin may be a bit much.

Willamette will make a nice amber. You could do an ESB, or mild with the EKG.

I like the ESB with the EKG. Thanks Ron, I'll have to set it and forget it.
