I now have a handful of bulk hops around, and would like some suggestions for varying my hops schedules using my on-hand stock.
My most successful beers have been Centennial Blonde and Haus Pale Ale. I also like IPAs. I'm thinking simple varieties of those basic beers, with changing hops schedules.
EDIT:
Haus Pale Ale
1.0 oz Cascade 6.6% at 60 min
0.5 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 30 min.
0.25 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 15 min.
0.25 oz. Cascade 6.6% at 5 min.
Centennial Blonde
0.50 oz Centennial [9.50%] at 55 min
0.50 oz Centennial [9.50%] at 35 min
0.50 oz Cascade [7.80%] at 20 min
0.50 oz Cascade [7.80%] at 5 min
I haven't yet varied the hops of these recipes, aside from experimenting with increasing them for partial boil/late addition DME. I just thought they'd be a basis for which to experiment more.
END EDIT
The hops I have on hand are:
Cascade (plenty)
Nugget (plenty)
Willamette (plenty)
Amarillo (plenty)
Mt Hood (some)
Chinook (some)
Centennial (4oz)
I'm looking for the best combinations/schedules that use what I have efficiently (ie, use-up what I have quantity of). I can also supplement with small purchases from LHBS of 'special' hops I don't have (couldn't get in bulk).
Thanks!
