I am attempting a Sam Adams Irish Red clone this weekend. Their website states that they use Kent Golding, Fuggles and Hallertau. I'm ordering from brewmasterswarehouse.com and used their Brew Builder program to build the clone. I'm having trouble figuring when to add the hops to get the recommended 25 IBU's. The program shows I can add 1oz K.G. @ 60 minutes and 1 oz of both Fuggles and Hallertau @ 12 mins...OR...I can do 1oz of both KG and Fuggles, and .5oz of Hallertau @ 30 mins. And there are any number of amount/time combinations that will get me 25 IBU's. But should I be using one hop for bittering and other's for aroma/flavor? Any recommendations will be appreciated as I'm kinda new at this! If you were wondering, the other ingredients are 6lbs Briess caramel 60 and 5lbs Briess pale malt.
