Lots of american hops, little ideas

[sleepyjamie]

So i have a lot of american style hops, cascade, centennial, citra, nelson sauvin, amarillo, etc..

problem is i dont want any more Pale Ales or IPAs. Unless they have some kind of exotic nature to them.

Any ideas that on a recipe? I'm stumped.

Wheat beers. A kolsch with Amarillo might be nice.

[sleepyjamie]

True. Gf hates wheat beers.

yeah a kolsch is on my mind, for the wyeast downstairs. the BCS book uses willamete i think for kolsch so i wasnt sure.

I'm planning some kolsch, and I'll be using citrus hops. Like Rickard's Blond but ten times better.

I make a blonde with centennial in the boil and dry hopped with Nelson S that turns out great.

Here is the thread, although it doesn't mention the dry hop http://www.brewnosers.org/forums/viewto ... onde#p3362" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Was reading about a Russian imperial stout with columbus and centennial for bittering and citra for late hop additions, could be interesting.

American Brown?

American Brown?

I just had a Mochaccino Messiah from the the group buy the other night and it was great. Looks like it fits the description of what you are looking for and I believe Chalmers still has some if you want to try it first.

Personally, I was thinking one of the (or similar to) BCS american browns. More smooth than a roasted coffee Mochaccino.

i made an american brown a while back which turned out great. perhaps ill make another. thanks for the ideas. also decided on a cream ale.
