If you're going to call it Simcoe, why add the others? It's a small beer for all those dry hops....the rest looks great and should be yummy, what's your mash schedule?

Sounds good to me. I like a bit of rye in my IPAs, but that's personal preference. I did an all-Simcoe IPA last year that turned out to be one of my favorite beers of all time. Here's the recipe:

Well firestone ipa has similar amt of dry hops though is a bit bigger... just wanted a touch of different flavors on the dry hop bill and I am all out of centennial, cascade and amarillo... mash at 152. My beers dry out very much.

+1 for maybe some Rye.... i really like the way it works with some of the more popular american hops that have the fruity aromas... I just did a Rye IPA with Simcoe Amarillo and Citra, and it's great, good fruity aroma and hop flavor.

Not too sure how it would work with chinook or CTZ thought. havent used that pairing together... yet..

mmm.. simcoe is delicious

If it was me I'd dry hop Simcoe/Cascade. In fact that is exactly what I am doing next (IRA).

rycov · May 13, 2011

my first AG was a wheat with all cascade in the boil and simcoe for dryhop. hop flavor was spectacular! (seemed like a good word to describe it)
