Re: hallertau tradition
That's just a modern-day, higher-yielding, more disease-resistent replacement for Hallertau mittelfrau, the classic German noble hop, which is to say you could use them in any recipe imaginable. They simply produce a very pleasant hoppy flavour and aroma: flowery, black peppery, a little earthy and perfumey, very faintly spicy, not as citrusy as English hops.
Perfect for golden/blond ales, lagers, anything where you're going for a classic well-balanced beer. You can blend it with any other hop at any stage, but if you add a bunch near the end of the boil, it'll make any recipe seem a bit more refined.

Re: hallertau tradition
Thanks Seymour, do you think they may get overwhelmed if combined with some US hops. Was thinking tho, of a single hop brew

Re: hallertau tradition
salopian do a great ipa that uses citra and saaz ( Automaton I think, well worth a sip). So as long as you can be sensible with proportions ( like what legion is suggesting) then there is no reason why you can't make a great ipa with them. same goes with british hops+ america/new world

Re: hallertau tradition
Yes, they would for the most part. Although, as the others already said, you can blend a lot of these and a little US hops. Presumably these are cheaper than the trendiest New World IPA hops, right? If so, commercial brewers might use such a blend to make their expensive hops last longer (along the same lines as ration-era chicory coffee) or to make an American hoppy style beer seem all-around nobler/refined.far9410 wrote:Thanks Seymour, do you think they may get overwhelmed if combined with some US hops...
That's always the best way to decide for yourself what you think of a particular hop cultivar's bitterness, flavour, and aroma. Perhaps make a mini stove-top batch with malt extract. Then after calibrating your palate to Hallertau tradition, you can decide for yourself how to blend it in your next full-size batch.far9410 wrote:...Was thinking tho, of a single hop brew
