I am going to brew on Friday and am on the fence as to what I will brew. I was thinking Black IPA, then some quasi-amber ale...As of right now I am thinking Best Malz Munich Malt ~6L with Northern Brewer hops.
10.5 G
17 lbs Munich
1 oz Northern Brewer FWH 9.9%AA 19 IBU
1.5 oz NB 15min 9.9%AA 12 IBU
1.5 oz NB 0min 9.9%AA 0IBU
~1.043 OG, ~31 IBU
My question is regarding the Northern Brewer hops. I have never used these before and don't know if they have a flavor profile that will perform well solo or even as a flavor/aroma hop at all. Also will they pair well with a simple but malty grist profile? Can anyone with experience using these hops share their input? If this is a horrible plan I still have plenty of time to revise it. Thanks.
