so for my ipa i was looking at combinations for flavor and aroma additions. at the time, i was looking at using simcoe/amarillo. i then decided to kinda experiment. for the flavor(20min) and aroma(5min) additions i decided to add 1/4oz each of simcoe, amarillo, centennial, and 1/8 columbus. ive never seen anybody do this and dont see any recipes online of this combination. my thought was to take each hop in the small amount to act as one hop with this variety of characteristics. i must say, the combo smelled really good when i added them together into a bowl before i threw them into the boil. im also adding this same combo for the dry hop with a bit more columbus. has anybody tried this? do you think the combination will give off an awesome flavor/aroma or will it be overkill? i like hoppy brews and the ibu's are about 75 with a 7.0abv.
