I brewed this recently and although I knew others have had success with SMaSH beers, this was my first and I’m pretty surprised how well it turned out.
I added the Hallertau Mittelfrueh at 60 minutes, 15 minutes and then a 15 minute hopstand. I’m really pleased with the Hallertau. I was expecting straightforward flowers and spice but I think the hopstand added some additional hop flavour complexity. It’s floral for sure but coupled with what seems like citrus and maybe even a little white wine. It’s great, really. Not what I expected but great.
Has anyone else done a hopstand with Hallertau?
