Aussiekraut Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Has anybody used this hop? I bought it by accident and discovered it whilst rummaging around the hop freezer looking for Hallertau. Apparently it can be used as a substitute for Nelson Sauvin or vice versa. Any experiences? Good, bad or outright ugly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, bad or outright ugly? I haven't used this hop AussieK @Aussiekraut, but more importantly at least for me, you have a hop freezer. Does this mean I can store my Hop pellets in the freezer? Sorry I can't help with the original question either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vacuum seal them after opening and they last a long time that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK, I bought some of this a while back as the LHBS said it was a substitute for what I was after at that time and when I got home found out that it was not so they have been sitting in the freezer since. From memory I was after Summer hops at that time but may be mistaken. Going to give this hop a trial in my next Carlsberg Pilsner as dry hop or very late edition as I think now that I am taste testing my third keg of CP, it just needs a little something more aroma wise in the glass. The CP is a very nice beer and I don't want to spoil its dainty light lager character so going to give a small dry hop a go and see if it brings to the glass what I am after. Thinking the white wine / fruit will complement my CP. I have heaps of Saaz and Hallertauer Mittelfruhert which are already a part of the CP recipe and could use but I think from the description of this hop it might work well as dry hop going by the Hoplist description: Flavors of white-wine and fruit, aromas of cassis, elderflower, grapes, grapefruit and lemongrass. Unfortunately it will be a month or so before a fresh batch of this is brewed as I am running out of kegs to store my lagers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiek86 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 just got 150 grams of this myself as far as I know it's a fairly new variety and best suits pale ales. Yet to try but a small amount would probably go good in a lager too hope someone who has used it can get back to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_G Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 @Aussiekraut I use H blanc. Yes it is a good NS substitute. I would suggest not being too heavy handed with it. It has a stronger Sav Blanc quality than NS without the tropic fruit. NS is one of my go to hops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you reckon it is suitable for a single hop pale ale or better suited for a lager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little late would be good in a lager, would work well in a wheat too, kinda like Sorachi Ace does. And it is by no means new. Quote Hallertau Blanc, daughter of Cascade, was released to the world in 2012. I have used it and like it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to use it as a complimentary hop so in a lager with Saaz or another hop late in the boil or in a Pale Ale with Galaxy and Amarillo and the like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
