Anyone ever brew an all cascade AG? I am about three minutes away from doing it, whadda think?

Beerrific said:Since everyone has experience here, what is a good amount to add for a good cascade flavor. I am trying to build this around a strong Cascade flavor, adding enough at 60min to bring it to the low 30 IBUs, and whatever I have left over for aroma.
I have:
1 oz pellet
2 oz whole leaf
both at 6.9% AA

Throw in the remaining 3 quarters of an ounce of whole hops at flameout.
With a typical 1050 wort this will give you 31 IBUs and masses and masses of cascade flavour, and also a decent amount of aroma from the flameout addition. Sounds like this is exactly what you are looking for ie lots of cascade flavour, try it, you won't be dissapointed.
Beerrific said:So is 15 minutes the best boil time for flavor?
How much do I need to add at flame out or dry hop to get best aroma? Is there much difference in aroma if added at flame out vs. dry hop? I was think of skipping the dry hop if there is not advantage over adding it at the end of the boil.
Beerrific said:When I do the calculations this comes out to closer to 29 IBUs. But I can fix that.

Btw, thanks for you input, much appreciated.

I was curious about bittering with two different hops. I may have just wasted an ounce of cascade...but they were at least six months old and I thought what the hell.
Does anyone know if sealing hops (flower) in zip lock bags work or will they be stale? Even though the hops were old the flowers were sticky and aromatic, so I chose to use them. Even stale homebrew is better than macro.

Ed, I'm brewing 10 gallons of your HausAle next weekend. I just got my one pound bag of Cascade yesterday.EdWort said:My Haus Ale uses 2 oz. of Cascade and no other hops, so have at it.
