Over 15 seasons, Colin Oldham’s hop gardens were the biggest producer of organic hops in the world. Ninety-nine per cent of New Hoplands produce goes to beer-makers in Europe and America; the remaining one per cent to New Zealand craft brewers.
20 LITERS | ABV 5.4 | IBU 30 | SRM 8.4 | MASH EFFICIENCY 75% | PRE BOIL 24L | OG 1.049 | FG 1.008

NOTE:
If you know the IBU of your Cascade hops then use Cascade for bittering. If you are using home grown Cascade cones use Magnum pellets for bittering. Adjust in Beer Smith for IBU.
Epic Pale Ale uses USA Cascade. Home grown NZ Cascade with an IBU of around 7% AA will make a slightly different but still enjoyable beer. Again formulate the recipe in Beer Smith for your hops and equipment.
Read our article on the Influence of Terroir on Hop Flavour which includes grapical analysis of Cascade grown in different parts of the world.
Commercially grown NZ Cascade has been renamed Taiheke.
