was going to make a nice bitter but the person i was to get my grains off is on holiday in australia sooooo here goes

going to do a sMaSh beer again on sunday. i have these hops what should i use

EKG 100GRAMS
NELSON SAUVIN 100GRAMS
SORACHI ACE 100GRAMS

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

I AINT PAYING OVER THE ODDS ON P+P FOR A FEW GRAINS SO IT WILL HAVE TO BE A SMASH FOR NOW!

I have no experience of NS or SA. I would use the EKG (a couple of hundred years of British brewing can't be wrong).

My last 5% SMaSH was using Northern Brewer to 40 IBU (very tasty), the previous was 4.5% and Cascade to 35 IBU. It was so good, that I have used Cascade in most of my more recent brews. But this doesn't help you in this case, I'm just showing off.

Your taste/gravity will decide what amounts at what time. Try using a beer engine like Beermate.

Nelson Sauvin is great as a single hop lots of late additions, however I have done a smash with sorachi ace it's bottled and I intend to have my first pint in the next couple of days I will report back as soon as I have

I'm new to this whole business, and haven't used a whole load of hops, but when I used Nelson Sauvin this week I was BLOWN AWAY it smells so nice.

If it was me, EKG for bittering, then all of the Nelson Sauvin you've got, in the last five minutes of the boil, then crash chill.

Lovely.

Well if you want a "nice bitter" i'd go for the EKG.

just been to the shed freezer and i have seen i have some northern brewer that needs using up so what i am going to do is bitter up to 40ibus with them. then use a whole packet of sorachi ace. but the question is when is best to add these for the best flavour to come through? is 10minutes , 15minutes , 5mins or 3minutes ha? any good advice on this? i want flavour not alot of aroma!?

[pas8280]

Just having a pint of the smash Sorachi Ace odd flavour bubble gum!!!! not unpleasant but it's not in the same league as Nelson Sauvin or Citra to be fair only two weeks in the bottle a few more weeks may change the profile tremendously

pas8280 what was your recipe for the smash sorachi ace?
