NZ Hopped Steam Lager
This is an experimental recipe I’ve done to see whether these hops work with this style. Its gonna end up being a kind of steam hybrid, as its a little bit hoppier than normal, but I’m hoping the relatively simple clean base will allow the hops to shine quite brightly.

Is this one ready to drink yet Chem? Or is this one of the 30 gallons you still have to bottle 😀
It’s being bottled this weekend. The 30/30 APA is being bottled tonight… need to put that recipe up as well with a full breakdown… Seems like a legit thing to do at 5am when you can’t sleep.
