Hi all,
I'm going to brew an IPA featuring Nelson Sauvin and am wondering about 1) the grain bill and 2) the hop schedule. Please let me know what you think. I'm thinking of changing my mash temp to 150 or so to try to get a bet drier a beer to showcase the Nelson. Also, my thought with using magnum in either FWH or a 60 minute addition is to get some clean bittering without imparting much flavor to give the Nelson the spotlight. I could also use Centennial, Chinook, or Columbus to bitter. Or should I just go ahead and use Nelson?
