The Hallertau hop is our next quick hit ingredient profile. An old hop variety that is, or has been, widely used in many of the great beers of the world.
Hallertau is a (now) 4-5% AA German hop that has been around for at least a 100 or more years. One of the four true Noble hops (Hallertau, Spalt, Tettnang, Saaz) it, like the others, are named for its original region of growth.
Well its been quite a while since I have brewed an all grain, but I need to get the kegs filled. Had some ingredients in the fridge from the last beer I had planned, so we just needed a few things.
This Saison was a bit bigger when I wrote it up, but I think a nice, light easy drinking 4ish % is in order.
With a fairly low OG of 1.044 and this yeast, figured I’d mash just a bit higher this time. Anyway, thats it. I’m not adding anything to this.
So I needed to brew something with Kviek yeast for a club monthly brew. I figured everyone was going to do some kind of beer. So I decided to do a cider.
The lhbs has a few choices in Kviek, but the dried Voss is one I didn’t use before.
Other than that, I’m just going to do as simple of a recipe that I can. 3 gallons Juice, 1 lb brown sugar and the Voss. Of course will be doing the nutrient program with it.
Starting gravity was 1.070. but hopeful that I’ll be able to get this bottle primed for the August meeting. We will see!
