I did a pale brew with a rather complicated grain bill as it was using up odds and ends and then split it three ways and singled hop with moeteuka, Dr rudi and pacific jade.

The pacific jade was my favourite of the three brews, definitely noticed the pepery note but it wasn't a bad thing.

[Dave-Leeds]

Is it a strong peppery taste?, i have 100g at 16% aa

what do you think would be a good hop profile for 23ltr brew

[Sadfield]

I have used Pacific Jade in a Hefeweizen. The peppery citrus nature of these hops worked quite well with clove notes from the Munich yeast and the bittering is quite soft, which suits the beer style. Should be good in a Lager, which would suit your Vienna malt.

[Dave-Leeds]

Thanks for the info. Think ill have a play around with the hops and maybe aim for 40 to 50 ibus

[legion]

The pepper doesn't dominate the hops other flavors

[Dave-Leeds]

Not had time to brew this smash yet but recon this weekend ill have time.

will 40 to 50 ibus be ok with these hops.1st time i have used them and i normally get recipes from books or the net etc

Cheers

[Sadfield]

From memory, I think that these hops have quite a smooth bittering profile. Can't see 40-50 being a problem.

[Dave-Leeds]

Thanks Sadfield think ill go for 50 ibu

I've used PJ in my stouts, usually about 50 IBU for a 7% stout...but it could be anything really! Fine stout!
