Suggestions for hops and yeast:
As mentioned, we want to encourage experimentation. Nevertheless, it can be good and reassuring to have some concrete suggestions, which can also inspire you to make your own adjustments. Here are some suggestions:
- Hoppy Amber: Make a delicious American Amber by dry hopping with your favourite American hops! Ferment with a neutral American ale yeast
- Red Ale: Brewed with British yeast. For example, Nottingham, Windsor or S-04.
- Sour Beer: Ferment with Philly Sour for a sour touch.
- Christmas Beer: Add spices that are suitable for Christmas beer, such as cinnamon, cloves and star anise.
-
Hops: Add optional hops for extra aroma
Souring: Use Philly Sour yeast
Gluten Reduced: Add Harris Glut Gone.
Increased Strength: Omit the water, or add extra fermentable sugar (malt extract etc.)
Lactose: Give the beer an extra smooth body and sweetness
Other additions: Oak, coffee, spices, orange peel, fruit/puree, cocoa nibs... - FWK Creative also works great for using up leftover hops!
Feel free to read about what aroma each hop contributes, and choose what sounds good together - This is fun, and you are often impressed by new hop combinations!
