So I'm planning to brew a blonde ale with Chinook as the single hop in it. I'd like to do that so I get a good idea of what Chinook contribute as the hops in my recipes.
I was wondering if other people had experiences with Chinook in a single hop beer and how they like it. I read that it's a heavy hops so I'm curious to know. I want nice flavor and aroma of the chinook of my beer but it shouldn't be overwhelming... it's a blonde ale after all I'm pushing it a bit out of style (maybe) but I still want it to be close to a blonde ale as much as possible.
It's a 6GAL batch, and I intended to dry hop with .5oz in secondary.
As far as I remember my recipe have the bittering at 60, .5 or 1oz at 10 + my dry hops. How does it sound? There is no aroma addition ad the end of the boil because I want to dry hops and avoid an over agressive aroma.
