Russell Smits (previous recipes kindly shared by Russell include
El Humo Smokey Chilli Steam Beer)
This recipe started out as an American Pale Ale, with all the ingredients being sourced from New Zealand. The hops initially were all from the Takaka region of NZ, but after some tweaks, and additions a few foreigners were introduced…. The aim was for a simple malt profile to allow the hops to shine through. The Idaho #7 hops were an experiment ended up on my brewing desk (cheers BeerCo) that I thought might add a nice fruity finish that would compliment the Nelson Sauvin.
