[Damfoose]

What can I brew thats hoppy out of this lot, Im after 21 litres at about 4 to 4.5% using any of the following ingredients



Any ideas much appreciated

Oooh.....

Pale 90-95%, plus a bit of Crystal and Wheat to 1048

then Challenger for bittering and Cascade & Amarillo for flavour/aroma? 40-45 IBU ?

(I know, I'm so predictable, but I did at least throw the Challenger in)

Sorry for the slow reply, Rick....probably a bit late for you now.

I've made a few along these lines, and my sort of "standard" formula is 4-5Kg Pale Malt (depending on the strength you want), plus 150g of Crystal and 150g of Wheat malt. Maybe swap out some of the Pale Malt for Lager Malt if you want a lighter colour.

Then about 20 IBU as first wort hops from the highest AA hop - I like some of the Aussie/NZ ones, but pretty much anything will do, then load up on the late hops - get another 20 -25 IBU from a 15 minute addition - maybe Cascade or Amarillo or a mix, then the same amount again at flame out or at 80C to steep. Then dry hop in the keg with another 25g.

It's not uncommon for me to use well over 100g of hops on these well hopped Summer brews..... I love 'em! Particularly with Cascade and/or Amarillo!

A wee bit late, but I can always apply it next week!

I love cascade too; along with Styrian Bobek, the smell drives me mad..

I ended up doing Lucky 7, well a batch of it..
