I got some for free during a brewery tour. What can I use them for? I probably have 3-5oz.
Note that I don't really have the technology to make a lager. |

How would this Alt recipe be if I replaced the Hellertauer hops with tettnang? I figured I could save the hellertauer for something else since they'll be in a nice vacuum packed bag....
Malt Extracts/ Additions 8 lbs Ultralight Malt Grain 1 lb Crystal 40L 4 oz Chocolate Hops 1.5 added for a 60 minute boil (bittering hops) oz Northern Brewer Hops 1 added for the final 5 minutes of the boil (flavoring hops) oz Hallertauer Hops 1 added during the final 1 minute of the boil (aroma hops) oz Hallertauer Hops Water Treatment 1 added to the last 20 minutes of the boil (improves beer's clarity) pkg Clarifiers - Whirfloc (1) |

Can't say I know much about Alt's but Tett is a GREAT hop for an english stlye brown, a german wheat, a Saison, or really just about any belgian. I use it frequently for any of those.

I use it frequently for any of those. english style brown sounds like something easy to pull off... are you thinking northern brown, mild brown, nutbrown? also: what is a good dry yeast option for this style? nottingham? S-04? Windsor? This post has been edited by zymological: May 30 2008, 04:54 PM |

They are good for anything. Tettnang is a noble hop with a slightly spicy flavor and wonderful aromatics. They are especially suited for lagers, but also Belgian ales when matched with WLP Golden Ale yeast. The spicyness of both match well and lend a great flavor to Belgian ales of all types.

Personally, I don't think much of that alt recipe, at least if you're going for something like a BJCP/commercial alt. There's too much late hopping and the chocolate malt is not quite the right grain. That said, it might well make a nice brown ale and I'm sure the Tettnang would work fine instead of the Hallertau. Paul's idea of a weizen is good, and they can also be used in American wheat/rye beers. I've got a tripel in secondary ATM with a touch of Tettnang for aroma and hoping for good things from that.

(IMG:style_emoticons/brewboard/smile.gif) Yes - I also thought the alt recipe seemed a little off (despite not knowing much about them). I've been liking british style ales lately so I think a northern brown would be good. What's the best dry yeast for this? I would think s-04 would be good... |

I've used S-04 and Nottingham for a dryer brown with great results. If using nottingham I usually mash a little closer to the 155° mark as I've had Nottingham make beers too dry for my liking in the past. Usually I use S-04 |

Usually I use S-04 With increasing temps I think S-04 might be the prudent choice. I've got a stout in primary right now that I used nottingham in that smells a little funky (IMG:style_emoticons/brewboard/tongue.gif) |

It's one of my staples that I don't have myself covered on. |
