So I'm going to brew an apa style beer of my own recipe, not a kit.
The ingredients i have are:
6lb golden lme
1lb wheat lme
8oz each crushed and mixed cara-pils, crystal 20l, and victory malts
1oz of chinook
2oz cascade
Wyeast 1056 washed yeast
Irish moss
Yeast energizer
I was thinking of boiling the chinook 11.1 alpha for bittering and the cascade for the aroma my question is this...
In working up the recipe in beersmith if i brew the whole oz of chinook with the full 6lb golden lme the resulting brew would be on the low end of bittering.
Would you split the extract and the chinook boil 3lb malt with .5 oz chinook then add the other half of both at 30 minutes then 1oz of the cascade at 15 with the wheat and the other at flameout or just do all the lme at the beginning of the boil with the full oz of chinook then the 2oz of cascade at 15? I'd like it to be a balanced brew and not get a harsh bitterness.
