I am readying to brew a 5 gallon batch of a brown/black IPA probably this evening. It's for a local tasting/event coming up in early sept.
My issue lies in that I am a big hop head. So I am looking at a pretty high (I think) hop profile, but I am afraid I am overdoing it and it will blow out the pallet.
I am planning on this for hops -
1 oz warrior @ 60
1 oz each Simcoe, citra, summit. @ 10 min
Same 1 oz ea at 5 min
I think this will add a huge and complex profile, but is it too huge? Should I cut back to a 1/2 oz each per addition?
My malts/ grains are-
2 lb Maris otter
1 lb special b
1 lb de bitter black
1 lb Munich
7 lbs. dark LME
Anyone with any suggestions or input will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
