I love Nelson hops and Rye IPAs I have had I have enjoyed (Great Lakes Brewing Rye of the Tiger and others) . So after surfing the internet for Ideas I found this recipe and tried it out. Bumped it up to double IPA OG and Hoping rates but same grist. It turned out awesome. First few weeks out of the keg the rye and/or southern cross hops were a little strong but week four through the end of the keg it was spectacular. Thanks for the great recipe I will brew it again and again. Probably once a year the short time Nelson hops are available. Hallertau Blanc is a close subititue for Nelson but not as bright.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470125474138293919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076002047553648960.post-54382105867448340372016-04-20T10:28:57.841-03:002016-04-20T10:28:57.841-03:00Hi, thanks for the request!

Flaked wheat, flaked oats, or simply go all out with 20% rye malt?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076002047553648960.post-52134837053669324912015-11-14T16:48:32.541-04:002015-11-14T16:48:32.541-04:00I'm lucky to have access to Nelson and have br...I'm lucky to have access to Nelson and have brewed a variation of this recipe many times. Nelson is my favorite beer ever...even above Pliny. A couple pointers to help you dial this in. Nelson is 1.065 OG, 1.012 FG, 7%. Keep the Maris Otter at 10%, bump the rye to 20% and split evenly rye malt and flaked rye. Move the 5 min hops to flameout and do a whirlpool/hop stand. Nelson is much lighter in color and pretty hazy. Don't fine or filter as the flavor from the haze from rye combined with the hops is what really makes Nelson amazing. If you're ever fortunate enough to score a bottle definitely swirl it gently to rouse the hazy sediment before pouring. Or pour a bit into one glass then rouse and pour into a different glass and compare. I always wondered why the bottled version didn't "pop" like the draft version until I figured this out.

Lucky for us in NZ its easier to get a hold of the hops - smells great 5 days in, the Southern Cross is quite limey! Will let you know how it turns out.
