Hi,
For my next brew, im wanting to use more then one hop type to give more complex hop flavour. Last time I used just "NZ Hallertau ", 3/4 to 1oz 60min and 3/4 to 1oz 15min. While this beer was decent, the Hallertau taste was strong and kinda overpowering.
Im thinking some hops go well together and some don't?
Am still deciding on a "dark brown" ale in similar style to Newcastle, or try another IPA.
If I go IPA Im thinking...
1xMuntons Medium Malt Extract Can
1xMuntons Light Extract Can
X? amount of crystal malt (have 500g or so)
Safale s-04 yeast
And ??? Hops
Or if a darker ale Im thinking...
1xMuntons Dark Malt Extract
1xMuntons Medium Malt Extract Can
X? amount of chocolate malt maybe? Don't have yet.
Safale s-04 yeast
And ??? Hops
Here are they pellet hops available at HBS...
Hop Pellets Fuggle 100gm
Hop Pellets NZ Hallertau 100g (possibly avail)
Hop Pellets Pacific Gem 100g
Hop Pellets Southern Cross 100g
Hop Pellets Sticklebract 100g
Hop Pellets Styrian Goldings 100g
Iv only used hops a couple of times, and crystal grain once, so kinda guessing how much would be needed. And thoughts on the hops?
