craftbrewer nelson sauvin recipe

[Woodside]

Has anyone tried this out? I'm thinking of giving it a go later in the year.
There's also a chocolate porter there that interests me...

Do you put the 25g of aroma hops in at the end after the boil? The chronological order seems wrong.

4.50 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter (5.9 EBC) Grain 91.84 %
0.40 kg Wheat, Torrified (Bairds) (3.9 EBC) Grain 8.16 %
15.00 gm Nelson Sauvin [11.40 %] (90 min) (Mash Hop) Hops 3.6 IBU
15.00 gm Nelson Sauvin [11.40 %] (80 min) Hops 18.0 IBU
25.00 gm Nelson Sauvin [11.40 %] (20 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep) Hops -
15.00 gm Nelson Sauvin [11.40 %] (20 min) Hops 10.3 IBU
20.00 gm Nelson Sauvin [11.40 %] (5 min) Hops 4.5 IBU
1.00 tsp Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate) (Mash 90.0 min) Misc
1.00 tsp Table Salt (Boil 90.0 min) Misc
1 Pkgs American Ale (US 05 or CraftBrewer American Ale) Yeast-Ale


Mashed at 64c. Single infusion Batch Sparge.


The 25g of Aroma hops go in after flame out and once the temp has come down to about 80C. For me-i shut off the IC at 85C and that brings the temp down to 80C, then add the aroma hops/steep for 20 mins. The Calcium sulfate is in the wrong chronological order too. You put this in along with the Salt(use rock salt) at the start of the boil. I'm not 100% sure what Ross means with the mash hop-i've never used hops in the mash?
I'll mail Ross and ask him to post his advice here.

Have you seen his conicals he's now selling? Very nice and very well priced :party:

You can use hops in the mash. It supposedly gives a similar effect to first wort hopping.

I tried mash hopping once, can't say i noticed any difference :hmm: Could just be me though

Nice looking forum guys....

If you want to save some hops, you can drop the mash hops & just adjust the bittering addition. I did trials with 100% mash hopped beers & the results were less than impressive - Resulted in a small amount of bittering & pretty well zero flavour & aroma.
The calcium Sulphate is added to the mash & the salt to the boil.
Torrified or malted wheat also works fine.

The beer is a very nice summer quaffer.

Cheers Ross

Many thanks! I will definitely give it a try later in the year!

I really like the craftbrewer website - lots of nice shiny things and esoteric ingredients that I can't seem to get here!
