I've been thinking about making an APA soon as a large starter for my American barleywine, and wanted to play around with the Chinook in my freezer. As I love Amarillo to begin with, the the suggestion of Amarillo/Chinook combo is appealing.

I think I'll be doing Amarillo-Simcoe-Chinook for my next IPA. Maybe an ounce of each for flavor/aroma. Would that be a manageable amount of Chinook?

I would use a 0.5 ounce Chinook for flavor and 0.5 oz. Chinook @ 0 mins. Or just use the chinook for bittering. I would use an oz. of Amarillo for flavoring and the other oz of Simcoe for aroma.. I just find that when using chinook, too much can almost make the beer taste disproportionate/unbalanced. And too much Chinook will definitely overpower the other hops when used in excess.

Chinook+Perle is very interesting and rather smooth when used in flavor/aroma additions. Perle needs more quantity to outweight the chinook, so I usually mix it 2:1 vs. Chinook in those additions. I never bitter with Perle.

Chinook+Simcoe is great as well. I bet adding Amarillo to this combo would be superb.

Chinook and Amarillo is a good combo. I've used it in my Pale Ale before and it came out very tasty, a bit less grapefruity than cascades. I use it like this:

Bittering: Chinook (FWH sometimes)
Flavor/Aroma: Amarillo
Dry Hop: Equal parts Amarillo/Chinook

Sierra Nevada uses Chinook as bittering in a lot of their beers and then uses Cascades and Centennial. I do too. Great stuff so far. Try this if you like: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/barley-legal-iipa-162905/

Thanks ya'll - I see Chinook-Amarillo-Simcoe on the horizon now for sure. I will make sure to limit my total Chinook addition to around 1 oz.

Eh to each there own. I am drinking on an IPA right now that used 4 oz of Chinook and 4 oz of Cascade and it is delicious. It's like this:
60 -2 oz Chinook
30- 1oz Chinook
10- 1.5 oz Cascade
0- 1.5oz Cascade
DH 1 oz each.

Very similar to a Sierra Nevada taste- think Celebration but I used MO and Amber Malt in there to offset the high IBU's
