No, Hana is a variety of pils malt from Crisp. Fonio is a grass (?) that has recently shown up in brewing. Supposedly give a kinda fruity flavor. Not generally available. We’ll be talking to Ashton Lewis about it in episode 207 of the podcast.
Yeah, what Denny said - the Hana is what I used instead of the Weyermann Pils because I realized I had it on hand and it has a more “interesting” character to it.
For the first time ever, I’m brewing a gose today! Recipe follows the “Salty One” recipe by Jonathan Hernandez, which won the European Sour Ale category at the 2024 NHC and was featured in the January/February issue of Zymurgy. I started some sauergut two days ago, using the extract+lacto combo suggested in the recipe…fingers crossed everything comes together.
That is good to know. When I get GP I only have purchased Simpsons. Sort of like MO when I purchase it, I only buy Crisp I have purchased a few bags of TF over the years when I could not get Crisp
