***** Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 No it isn't a clone of Stella Atois, it's using Stella hops with the IPA kit. Turns out a really nice drop only my 2nd IPA but better than my previous, which was the Kilted. I had them both from the keg and this one has had more time to mature. I am thinking despite what is commonly said 2 - 3 months in the keg is still the magical number. 1.7 kg Coopers IPA can 750g Light Dry Malt 400g Medium Crystal 120 150g dextrose 10g Stella 7 mins 15g Stella 3 mins 25g Stella steeped 30 mins and added on day 4 12g S04 pitched @ 17'C OG 1.040 FG 1.009 after 14 days in FV around 4.2%, and 42 IBU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH1525226084 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 It's a nice hop - a mate made an american pale ale using only stella, and it was really really really good [love] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

***** Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Stella is a new aroma variety which contributes hoppy and floral notes, with subtle hints of anise and a satisfying fullness of palate....etc....etc...CLICK FOR MORE That's the one. Mine were grown at Bushy Park by Hop Products Australia. The hop is certainly as per Muddy's quotation although the Anise is very subtle, perhaps it will come to the fore with age. If so it's good that I bottled few. Apparently it is an aroma hop with options, I am about to put down my first full extract brew and pending how it goes I will be looking to do a single hopped Stella brew as a follow up.

Scottie Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Sorry for the bump, because this post was made under my previously burned identity I can't edit it. This hop is now known as Ella, the notes from Hop Products Australia are the same as the original Stella hop. Also I noted that my hop schedule has a typo so from my notes: Ella Hops 10g @ 7 mins 15g @ 3 mins 25g steeped for 30 mins and added on day 4. At this stage I had an aversion to dry hoping, that has now passed and 25g dry hoped on day 4 will I believe produce a better result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
