Zythos

A nice brew.  Zythos pellets are a proprietary blend from Hop Union.  To me they taste kind of like a mix of cascade and simcoe...but what do I know?


Good beer: try it yourself!

 Mash @ 154

• 4 # 6 row
• 4 # munich
• 2 # acidulated
• 1 # munich 60L
• 1 # aromatic
• .5 # wheat

Boil

• 1.0 oz Zythos - first wort
• 1.0 oz Zythos - flameout
• 3 T Black Peppercorns - flameout

Cool and pitch 1 sachet hydrated SafAle S-04

OG 1.056

This was a nice beer.  Great flavor, nice mouth feel.


The pellets came saying 10.9% aa..the amounts above had just right bitterness.


I'll make this again, albeit with a simpler mash bill.
