I'm planning on doing a series of pale ales in order to taste what individual hops taste like. I'm planning on using a very simple pale ale recipe so that the hops can really come through. I want to keep the IBU's on each of the tests around 40 to make it even and use the same hop throughout the boil. Here's the basic plan for 5.5 gal.
9.5 lb. American 2-row
0.5 lb. Crystal 45
0.5 lb. Cara-pils
20-22 IBU - 60 min
8-10 IBU - 30 min
~6 IBU - 15 min
~4 IBU - 5 min
1 oz Dry hop
OG: 1.052
IBU:~40
SRM:~6
I plan on keeping the grain the same every time, probably splitting the mash into 2-3 gallon batches. I want to use cascade, centennial, willamette, EKG, simcoe, and chinook, with probably some more. Any favorite hops you think I should use?
