recently got a bunch of NZ hops. Haven’t used any like them before. Any recommendations/recipes/types for the following varieties of hops: - Motueka - Kohatu - Rakau - Waimea They’re all in pellet form. Thanks!

Did you ever make this? How’d it compare to San Miguel?

Great! Thanks for the ideas! Will keep you posted

So I'm going to be moving in a few months which gives me just enough time to brew and consume one last batch. I'd like to use all of my hops stored in my fridge. Some are a bit old (9mos), so the flavor might not be as strong anymore. They've been refrigerated the whole time, so they should be...

For the version above, the stats are: BIAB Mash @ 152F OG: 1.062 @ 75% eff, FG: 1.014 56.1 IBU, 6.9SRM, 6.3%ABV For the yeast I was thinking Wyeast London Ale 1028. Mainly just personal preference and one of my favorites. A bit of a malty backbone but still lets the hops shine. Good idea...

How long do you leave this in the primary? Do you use a secondary, or straight to the keg? Any cold crashing?

Brewed this beer about 7 weeks ago and just kegged it today. Unfortunately I miscalculated my efficiency bigtime with my new equipment and my OG came in at 1.061. FG is 1.010. The sample I tried today was a bit harsh. Probably because of the high ABV. Hopefully it mellows a bit with time...
