It seems out of place in the Amercian Blonde that I brewed. For my taste, Im thinking Nelson Sauvin belongs in something with more malt backbone or higher alcohol.Draconian Libationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13291422321555128925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-46156616224915334792012-04-26T17:20:39.419-04:002012-04-26T17:20:39.419-04:00Northern Brewer has some Australian Galaxy (I thin...Northern Brewer has some Australian Galaxy (I think that is the same thing.)BrewerAdamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354197698069717413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-68523861640919856252012-04-23T17:40:28.802-04:002012-04-23T17:40:28.802-04:00At the moment Galaxy is pretty much impossible to ...At the moment Galaxy is pretty much impossible to come by, but the Southern Hemisphere harvest should be available soon.

I know exactly what you mean about the decay and have experienced it myself. <br />Keep an eye out for the new NZ hop, Kohatu, which came out in small volumes last year. It's got a pineapple fruitiness with a hint of NS "sweaty" pungency. I've just made a an APA (well, kind of) with Motueka, Kohatu, and Riwaka- fermented with 3522 Ardennes. The fruit and piney flavours compliment the Ardennes yeast perfectly.Dougalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-55330168794718581672012-04-20T09:01:15.570-04:002012-04-20T09:01:15.570-04:00I feel like the hop stand does a good job connecti...I feel like the hop stand does a good job connecting the bitterness and the big hop aroma, but it will not replace a big dry hop addition for something like an IPA.

Though the combo of Nelson Sauvin, Amarillo and Galaxy give it a really citrusy tropical fruit thing. I added in some Citra, Amarillo and Nelson Sauvin for this first dry hop addition and it really just highlights the combination. The pineness is there, but it isn't at the same levels as some other hops (i.e. Simcoe). I may add some calcium chloride to help bring out some of the malt that seems to be hidden now...<br /><br />By the way, that Indie Hop study also highlighted their hop pellets which are processed at a lower temperature than most hops in Yakima so that may also add to the difference in aromatics.mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07015507088893980907noreply@blogger.com
