  • 1 oz Herald - 12.0 AA% whole; boiled 30 min

    Herald

    Herald hops were among the pioneering dwarf hop varieties introduced to the industry, released in 1996 alongside Pilgrim and Pioneer. Despite initial hesitation from some brewers, Herald’s clean bitterness and vibrant orange and grapefruit aroma have earned it a place in many craft breweries, especially in the UK.

  • Danstar Nottingham

    Danstar Nottingham

    The Nottingham strain was selected for its highly flocculant & relatively full attenuation properties. It produces low concentrations of fruity and estery aromas and has been described as neutral for ale yeast, allowing the full natural flavor of malt & hops to develop. The recommended fermentation temperature range of this strain is 14° to 21°C (57° to 70°F) with good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures (12°C/54°F) that allow this strain to be used in lager-style beer. With a relatively high alcohol tolerance, Nottingham is a great choice for creation of higher-alcohol specialty beers!

Notes

f.g. 1.090, replace hops with blessed thisle

Way Too Much Blessed Thistle!

if you replicate this recipe, use tons less. i'd say just a pinch for the last 20 minutes of the boil will do the job fine.
