WAI-ITI HOPS
WAI-ITI HOPS
I've searched and nothing shows for this one. I've got 250g and they sound fun in a light summer ale. Anyone know anything about them and any suggestions for something to add some bitterness? Cheers

Re: WAI-ITI HOPS
Purely working from the description for the hop I would say that you will want a good clean bittering hop such as Warrior, just not too much as you are going for a summer ale.raiderman wrote:I've searched and nothing shows for this one.

That's what I did. Maris otter plus 10% Munich. Magnum for bittering followed by a big charge (100g) of Wai iti at flame out. Very nice hop.

Re: WAI-ITI HOPS
I've used them quite a few times. I love 'em.
I would bitter with a small percentage of Magnum and then stick a shit load in late. Hold some back for dry hopping. Generally I use 100g in a 23 litre brew.

Re: WAI-ITI HOPS
I have an ounce of these coming in an order I made over the weekend. I already have some Wakatu that I may use them with.
I'm just here for the beer.
Re: WAI-ITI HOPS
Thanks for the tips. I'm working from home tomorrow so I'm brewing too. I can find something clear in the freezer to bitter then I think 150g late. Another 50 when cooled to 80ish ought to put them through their paces. Cheers
Re: WAI-ITI HOPS
I'm impressed with this one. No fireworks but a really nice flavour and aroma. 2 weeks after legging and it's got a nice big aroma. In a golden ale 350g carapils and 350g malted oats which gives a slight caramel lay backdrop it's come out very nicely perhaps more towards lime than grapefruit I'll certainly use it again. It would be very good in a blonde ale. I hate to say it but Seymours preference for porridge oats is probably spot on with this one.

Now, why would you hate to say that? Have I ever steered you wrong?

Re: WAI-ITI HOPS
Now that's what I call planning ahead. I often can't make up my mind what to brew until the day before.Rookie wrote:I plan to brew a wheatwine early next year using Warrior, Wai-iti, and Wakatu.6470zzy wrote: Purely working from the description for the hop I would say that you will want a good clean bittering hop such as Warrior,

Re: WAI-ITI HOPS
A wheat wine? Basically an all/mostly wheat version of a barley wine? How does that work?
I have a load of wheat to use up, and this sounds like an appealing way to use it

Re: WAI-ITI HOPS
I keep a list of the next ten beers I want to brew (not necessarily in order) and each brew session I pick one off the list. The wheatwine being a big O G will be done during winter: early next year or maybe late this year.Hugh Jampton wrote:Now that's what I call planning ahead.
