Hi all,
I'm brewing my first IPA this weekend. While I am now pretty familiar with what types of malts I like to use and the flavors they impart I am still pretty ignorant as to the characteristics of a lot of hops so I've had trouble coming up with a good hop schedule. Here is my recipe (the AA for the chinook is just an assumption, I actually don't have the hops yet but I will adjust the amounts based on the actual AA for the hops I buy at the store)
Batch Size: 1.3 gallons
Mash: 75 Minutes
Temp: 151 degrees
OG: 1.067 FG: 1.017
Efficiency: 70 ABV: 6.6
IBU: 45
2 lb 11 oz American 2 row
6 oz Munich (10L)
2 oz Crystal 60
2 oz carapils
1 oz Crystal 20
1 oz Victory
1/4 oz Chinook (7.5%) 60 min
0.275 oz Chinook (7.5%) 15 min
1/10 oz Chinook (7.5%) 5 min
1/4 oz Cascade (6.4%) 5 min
0.15 oz Chinook (dry hop) 7 days
0.1 oz Cascade (dry hop) 7 days
I've used cascade before and like it but I've never used chinook. Does anyone have opinions on its use in IPA's both as a bittering and aromatic hop? Any critique for my schedule? I also have a bunch of willamette in the fridge if anyone thinks I should incorporate that.
