I'd up the boil to 90 minutes if using Pilsner malt Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I think Amarillo would be closest to Cascade. Simcoe would be a good option...kinda similar to a Chinook/Cascade mix with Pine and Citrus flavors with some spicy rye..mmmmm

I have the same problem..especially now that it's getting cooler. I use some rubbermaid type containers..seems to work

I made 2.5 gals of a session IPA with Amarillo @10/DH, Citra @5 and @0, and Simcoe @5/DH. I wanted to use a lot of hops, but didn't want a bitter bomb with a 1.043 SG. Turned out great. All my friends love it.

I made a 'Simarillo' Pale One of my better brews. I went heavier on the Amarillo, but the Simcoe still kinda overpowered Hop Sched I used for 5 gal: @30 - 1 oz Simcoe @10 - 1 oz Simcoe @10 - 2 oz Amarillo @0 - 1 oz Amarillo DH - 2 oz Amarillo DH - 1 oz Simcoe

I really like Mosaic. I did a smash and i get more tropical fruit notes out of it..like pineapple

I would think so.

Always interesting to hear how different people taste hops differently. For me: Simcoe- is mostly pine some citrus. Centennial floral some fruit and citrus, Amarillo mostly fruity and a little citrus. Chinook - Pine with Spicy Earthy notes Simcoe, Centennial, and Chinook are all pretty...

Just went to visit OB and the latest Gubna is different.. The garlic/onion is gone. I asked the bartender if it was different than before and she said they took out the Summit and it's just Columbus and Cascade now.

+1 re saving the citra for later in the boil and dryhop

Should be fine since you have them sealed pretty well. I've used hops stored in the freezer that have been over a year old

Can't go wrong with the classic C hops. I made a classic ipa with Columbus Chinook Centennial and Cascade. One of my best. You get a nice mix of all the hop flavor categories

I made an all sorachi wheat. And yep. Dill bomb. It's turned into a novelty beer where I ask people 'what do you taste' beer. Thinking it would be nice to make a beer batter for fish haha. I use my garlic onion bomb summit for an ipa based BBQ sauce. Works great!

Chinook isn't low cohumulone, but neither is Centennial. Given the hops to choose from, my thought was to get some of that great Centennial flavor and aroma into the brew. Personally, I keep some Warrior around for bittering. It depends on what kind of hop profile the OP is looking...

I'd axe the special roast and cut out or cut way back the honey malt. I get tangy out of Special Roast, and it doesn't take much for me to pick up the honey flavor from Honey Malt
