Popo the Reprobate Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Hey Team, I've got a bit of Nelson lying around and would like to brew a beer that features it as the only or main hop - a pale or lighter kinda style. Anyone got any tips for using it in a beer like this? Reading got me a bit worried it could be too winey on its own.

Beerlust Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Then you have hop gold laying around my friend. Best to marry it up with a citrus forward hop variety I find. https://www.diybeer.com/au/recipe/nelson-s-light.html Build your recipe around that, you won't be disappointed. Cheers, Lusty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Plus one to above. I love NS. I find it to be a really good hop. There are many people around that don’t. Hope it’s a cracker for ya. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say I hate it but I don’t particularly like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit, I really don’t understand how divisive this hop can be. Like coriander I guess. Love it or hate it. Weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popo the Reprobate Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Cheers guys. I've used it in combinations with others before but can't say I could pick it out. I might team it up with a little bit of Amarillo and do as you suggest @Beerlust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally only steep & mainly dry hop with it. It's aroma properties are nothing short of amazing I reckon. Use your shitty Magnum in the boil. Cheers & good brewing, Lusty.

I'm not sure how you make pizza but the top of pizza base is where all the toppings go. Pineapple can go on that part too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just festy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popo the Reprobate Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 I'm thinking I'll use some Amarillo earlier in the boil for the bitterness, use some Nelson at flameout and dry hop with a bit of both with a ratio favouring Nelson. I'm all for pineapple on pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS I am for it. I was hating watching this video until the part where the pineapple on pizza bit. Then I'm like, "yeah that's my reaction too, even harder core than he did it!" So all these raging microphone swallowers are just guys p!$$@d off with finding pineapple on their pizzas? Now I understand. Lusty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I've not used NS but pineapple definitely goes on pizza, just gotta be the right type. You wouldn't put it on a meat lovers but it works on a supreme. Everyone who thinks otherwise is misguided and completely wrong. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruit does not in any way belong with cooked meat as an accompaniment or otherwise. Period. The two are not interchangeable. As an example of this, I've never heard of "Meat Salad". One must be Yin, one must be Yang. Never the two shall meet. Lusty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
