My SNPA clone recipe calls for this:
5 gallons
IBU 32
5.5% abv
1 oz Nugget @ 8.5% AA (8.5 HBU) for 60 minutes
1/2 oz Perle (flavor hop) for 15 minutes
1 oz Cascade (aroma hop) for 1 minute
1/2 oz Cascade leaf (dry hop)
-----
During the partial boil I added the following pellets:
1 oz Nugget @ 13% AA for 60 minutes
1 oz Perle @ 9% AA for 15 minutes
1 oz Cascade @ 6% AA for 1 minute
I'm still in the primary so no dry hopping yet.
The bold is the difference between what the recipe calls for and what I did. The guy at the HBS said I shouldn't use all 1 oz of the Nugget, unless I boosted the abv, so I added an extra pound of DME. BUT, my mistake was that I added a whole ounce of the Perle instead of 1/2 ounce. My head was in the clouds from having my new turkey fryer delivered and a few brews.
I know doing a partial boil, it won't hurt to boost the hops, but what do you think? Would you skip the dry hopping since this appears to be hoppy enough?
I don't think it's ruined since I have turned into a hop head, but I guess this is going to be more like some sort of IPA than a SNPA clone.
