Northdown & Cascade for Christmas - White Deer
Northdown & Cascade for Christmas - White Deer
White Deer
8.5 kg Crisps Europils, Mashed at 66c
Northdown 60 mins
Northdown 30 mins
Cascade 30 mins
Northdown 1 min
Cascade 1 min
Total IBU 20, 45 - 46 litres in the fermenters.
It’s all about the Northdown, with a bit of UK cascade. A good session ale, plenty of taste and a cheap not so common, boring brew, using boring leaf hops
A favourite hop, along with Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic, Centennial, Citra. Northdown much cheaper and makes an amazing beer.
Good old Wilko yeast, great stuff.

Re: Northdown & Cascade for Christmas - White Deer
I do a lot of cascade as a pale hop forward ale.
Was thinking about replacing the bittering with something else. This sounds good.

Can you share the boil time and quantities?
Re: Northdown & Cascade for Christmas - White Deer
Hi Mashbag,
Sorry for delay in replying.
Try this:
3.8kg pale malt
60g crystal, if you’ve only got dark, go 25g, don’t bother if you haven’t got any.
190g torrified wheat, don’t bother if you haven’t got any.
4kg pale nails it, the other malts tweak it.
ND 10g 60 min
ND 8g 30 min
Cascade 12g 30 min
ND 40g 1 min
Cascade 10g 1 min

Re: Northdown & Cascade for Christmas - White Deer
Blimey that surprises me. I expected more ND.
My normal cascade is a45min boils with 30g @15m & 30g@30m & 40g flameout. (80c). A very 'tidy' brew, using the entire 100g pack of hops.
Looking forward to having a play.

Re: Northdown & Cascade for Christmas - White Deer
There’s more hops in the photo as did a 46 ltr brew, suggested recipe provided is 23 ltr.
Have a play with it, it’s based around a 3.8% beer, 20 ibu region. Have tried more late hops before, didn’t work for me. The recipe is for one of my favourite beers, brewed and served up this way.
That’s the beauty of making beer, adjusting and varying things. It’s worth a go and can use hops that don’t cost £7 a packet

Re: Northdown & Cascade for Christmas - White Deer
Agree with that. Crossmyloof on ebay keep the cost of my hops down and the variety is huge.
Re: Northdown & Cascade for Christmas - White Deer
Have you seen much difference between cascade US and the cascade UK?

Re: Northdown & Cascade for Christmas - White Deer
IMHO there is quite a bit of flavour difference between UK and USA Cascade. UK Cascade are a more muted experience which can be an advantage depending on what you are trying to achieve in the final result.

Re: Northdown & Cascade for Christmas - White Deer
Yup same here. Particularly with pellets.
Re: Northdown & Cascade for Christmas - White Deer
There is also German Cascade, Australian Cascade (more like the US grown one but with grapefruit too) and New Zealand Taiheke; the latter gaining its own name.
Re: Northdown & Cascade for Christmas - White Deer
Yeah, read about the New Zealand Taiheke, but opted to give it a miss.
