I went on a hop buying binge recently, and my freezer is overflowing with hops. So, I think that it is time to brew a big DIPA. I have at least 1/2 lb of each of the following:
Apollo
Belma
Columbus
Sorachi Ace
HBC 342
Meridian
Bravo
Simcoe
Nugget
Legacy
Summer
Polaris
I do not have any experience with any of these except Columbus, Nugget, and Simcoe. I like citrus bombs with some pine in the background. My grain bill will be mostly 2-Row with some melanoidin for some color and malt backbone. I'm thinking of bittering with Columbus or Nugget; and Simcoe for flavor and dry hop.
Does anyone have any suggestions of combinations of the remaining hops that will give me a big citrus aroma? Thanks for your help.
