Once in a while I make small batches of beer to try out different yeasts, hops or hop combinations. This time I wanted to explore the combination of two newer hop varieties, Nelson Sauvin and Sorachi Ace. In my experience Nelson Sauvin has some tropical fruit flavours to it, while I haven't tried Sorachi Ace on its own yet. It is suppose to have a distinct citrus flavour, mostly lemon. I made a very simple wort with malt extract and a little crystal malt and just boiled it for 15 minutes to retain a lot of hop character.
4 liter
OG 1040
500 g Extra light DME
100 g Cara Hell
4 g Nelson Sauvin and 4 g Sorachi Ace for 15 min
6 g Nelson Sauvin and 6 g Sorachi Ace for 5 min
Unfortunately I discovered that I only had S-33 dried yeast in the apartment, so that was what I pitched (1/3 package).
OG after 5 days 1012
