a good beer with hallertau?

[RobWalker]

I've got some hallertau and northern brewer to use, almost full packs - any ideas? Would like to keep it cheap and easy...

I too have left over hallertau. Most of Dave Lines lager clones use hallertau. I am thinking of changing Grolsh by swapping lager malt for pale and using SO5 instead of a lager yeast. Recipe for 'grapalsh' would be:

15 litre brew length
3.75kg pale malt
100g crystal
100g hallertau (at 60 mins)

No idea how it would turn out but might be fun to try.

humm, what i'm wondering is if it's possible to use it in a light ale or something rather than a typical lager...how aromatic is hallertau if you chuck it in late?

This isn't the simplest recipe in the world, but I've made it and it's delicious.

Hallertau is a great light and pale ale aroma hop or even for the whole count - works really well with golden ale , summer style beers . NB first and Hallertau late and dry would be a good choice for that sort of thing....I did just that on an extract brew summer pale some years back . Get stuck in Rob !

 

[shocker]

Theres some good recipes on that link that Samwise put up , simple extract through to AG . The summer lightning could be a good one ....

or even sharps citrus summer might be a candidate for your hops and a BIAB , Rob ...... :hmm:

I made the summer lightning, it was very nice, I also chucked some blackberries in 10L of it for a secondary ferment and blackberry storm was born.
