I've ordered some Jester hops, a new and very different English Variety available to home brewers for the first time. This is what I've read about them:
Flavour Intensity: 8/10 : An intense, punchy aroma with flavour notes of Grapefruit and tropical fruits. Complex bitterness with fruity and herbal flavours.
Alpha acid: 7-9% Beta acid 4-6% Co-Humulone 23-28% Total Oils 0.6-1.2ml/100g Myrcene 45-50% Humulene 2% Farnesene 0.1-0.2%
It sounds astonishing. I was thinking of doing something like this for a 23L batch:
4.6 Kg Maris Otter
300g Munich Malt
100g Aromatic Malt
25g Challenger - Boil 60 mins
50g Jester - Boil 15 mins
WLP 023 Burton Ale Yeast
Jester is expensive at the moment and Challenger gives a smooth, rounded bitterness that blends well with any late addition hop. This recipe will allow me to see what it tastes like.
