Ok, I'm been dying to try the Nelson Sauvin hops, and while I'm just using extract, I want to use them as first wort, and then again in the secondary. The place I now buy from said to use an American Ale.
Question is, does this sound right? And, what can I expect from the Sauvin hops? I've read it's white wine-ish.
Also, FWH. I also read to put it in at about 160 degrees instead of during the boil. Make sense?
I plan on splitting up the secondary, so I can play around with combinations. One with no secondary hops, true to the recipe. One with secondary, and one maybe with some fruit or something. Would that be too much, or what would you suggest?
