♦ Northern Brewer Hops - Origin and Description
Northern Brewer Hops is an England native who is seeing its days live out mainly in Germany and the U.S. There is a separate U.S. hops variety that was bred in the United States that has similar properties. This dual use hops had a higher alpha acid content for the time, however super alphas have doubled, even tripled the content since back in the day. With that said Northern Brewer hops grown in Germany, sometimes referred to as Hallertau Northern Brewer if grown in the region, has made its mark and is used throughout beer styles such as European Ales, Lagers, and Pilsners. It is also synonymous with steam beers as in Anchor Steam.

Northern Brewer hops is used for both bittering and aroma additions in the kettle. It has an alpha acid content of 7.0%-10.0% and is a well rounded variety. The bitterness is moderate and the aroma comes off as plump. As one of Germany's main high alpha hops, Northern Brewer is both versatile yet refined.

Notes: my first attempt at a brown porter. grist designed to be malt forward with vienna added for head retention and victory added for biscuit and bread complexity. I cold steeped the chocolate malt in 32oz cold filter water to limit astringency. hop additions are definitely on the upper end for style but believe will balance nicely with complex grist.caoco powder added late in the boil to add a dark chocolate flavor

Notes: Last set of hops are added to primary for duration of fermentation then cold chilled with a gelatin finer for 2 days. Immediately keg or bottle for best results as the hop volatiles fade very quickly.
