The article on APAs in this month's BYO has inspired me to try to create my own house APA recipe. I have done tons of research (Brewing Classic Styles, Designing Great Beers, Jamil Show, magazines, here) and have several ideas.
Basically, for my first variable I want to choose a hop combination. I will make a large batch of a basic APA wort, and then boil separately with different hop combinations and ferment them in 2 gallon buckets.
I have in my freezer:
Amarillo
Cascade
Centennial
Chinook
Columbus
Simcoe
I am currently planning:
Cascade/Centennial
Amarillo/Simcoe
Columbus/Centennial
Chinook/Cascade
Chinook/Amarillo
I would like to do 4-6 different combinations. What others would you suggest?
