Collaborative Brew Schedule - 2024

[SMP Brewery]

I thought this was all about brewing styles that hadn’t been brewed before to expand your brewing knowledge?

My comments were about NZ hops in general rather than NZ pilsner specifically.

I think we did an NZ Pale as a swap a couple of years ago and I used Nelson Sauvin to bitter and found it quite harsh.

I've brewed a lot of kiwi pils with different hops and in my experience bitter with magnum or something similiar. I find kiwi hops very harsh when used for bittering despite some being dual purpose.

I'm going to give Mouteka a rattle at First Wort and a balanced water profile to see if that takes the edge off.

Yes good thinking.

I'm also assuming that using a dash of magnum to bitter would still make it a kiwi pils! Is it within the rules??!!
