German Magnum

German Magnum is my go-to bittering hop for any German style lager. It's smooth, clean bitterness fits in well with later flavour and aroma additions of German noble hops. If I can't get German Magnum, I will use Australian Topaz rather than the Polish Magnum.

Hey Mike,
You cannot go past GR Magnum for smooth clean bittering. A lot of US brewers like Warrior for the same reasons. Hop your well and having a great brewing week, month and year! cheers #brewhappy always

Magnum Hops

I routinely use Magnum to give my beers a clean bitter backbone. There is very little taste or flavour imparted with Magnum so I always use a taste addition and an aroma addition of a classic German hop. I have used magnum with Splater, Hersbruker, Saaz and Mittelfruh. (Batch size 25l) Typically I use 10-15g of Magnum with 10 -15g of the other hops for the boil, then 10-15 g of the other at whirlpool (70-80 degrees c) (Flavour), and 10-15g as a tea hop at kegging( aroma) 50 degrees and straight in it goes. I have had excellent results. Spalter is particularly underrated as a classic German hop.

Tanks Greg for your kind review and feedback. Very insightful on Magnum and pairing with other classic GR Hops. Love your tea bag technique at kegging to get a little aroma pop! cheers #brewhoppy always
