yes, you will get better aroma contributions from your dry hops closer to about 70 degrees.

Just sitting on the porch enjoying my last bottle of this recipe and remembering how much I like it. Definitely gonna have to brew this again soon!

I brewed the original recipe and it was fantastic. Now I want to brew it again but also want to tweak the hops a bit. I bought 3 oz. of Cascade and 2 oz. of Amarillo for a 11 gallon batch. What would be the best use of these? I was either thinking:

2 oz Cascade @ 60
.5 oz Amarillo @ 30
.5 oz Amarillo @ 15
1 Oz Cascade @ 5
Beer Smith IBU Calc - 37

Dryhop one of the 5.5 gallons with 1 oz. of Amarillo

or

2 oz Cascade @ 60
1 oz Amarillo @ 30
1 oz Amarillo @ 15
1 Oz Cascade @ 5
Beer Smith IBU Calc - 48

Is 48 IBU's too much for this malt bill?

You could try splitting the 2 oz of Amarillo and do an ounce at FWH and an ounce at 60. Just a thought...

Ed's original recipe calls for 39 IBU's - to me 48 is a bit much for this recipe, but I'm not a hop-head, either...

Thanks for the reply. I found a typo in my original post...when using the first scenario I would get to 39 which as you said matches the original bitterness. I wanted to impart some of the Amarillo hop aroma and flavor therefore I was leaning towards using it later into the boil.

You could also drop the 30 minute addition and move it within the last 15 minutes. That what I did when I added citra.

Just brewed up the partial mash version of this recipe. OG clocked in at 1.052, and I'm pretty close to 6 gal. Followed the recipe pretty exact, with an addition of .25 lb flaked wheat to the grains. Stuck it in my brand new ferm chamber and am stoked to see what all the hype is about!

This weekend i am brewing a modified extract batch of this using Gold & Maris Otter malt syrup in conjunction w/ Australia Helga Hops and WLP009 Australian Ale yeast. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
