Hello from Croatia
I have one question for you mates. Recently I made American IPA with Amarillo, Simcoe and Cascade since I didn't have Citra on my hand.
Recipe was
25L (6.6 gal) batch
5,62 kg Pilsner (2 Row) Bel (3,9 EBC) 85,4 %
0,26 kg Munich Malt (17,7 EBC) 4,0 %
0,26 kg Wheat Malt, Ger (3,9 EBC) 4,0 %
0,30 kg Biscuit Malt (45,3 EBC) 4,6 %
0,13 kg Cara 120 (120,0 EBC) 2,0 %
35,00 g (1.23 oz) Magnum [11,00 %] - Boil 60,0 min 40,0 IBUs (
15,00 g (0.5 oz) Amarillo [10,00 %] - Boil 15,0 min 7,7 IBUs
15,00 g (0.5 oz) Simcoe [12,00 %] - Boil 15,0 min 10 9,3 IBUs
15,00 g (0.5 oz) Cascade [5,00 %] - Boil 15,0 min 3,9 IBUs
0,50 Items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15,0 mins) Fining
15,00 g (0.5 oz) Amarillo [10,00 %] - Aroma Steep 20,0 min
15,00 g (0.5 oz) Simcoe [12,00 %] - Aroma Steep 20,0 min
15,00 g (0.5 oz) Cascade [5,00 %] - Aroma Steep 20,0 min
15,00 g (0.5 oz) Amarillo [10,00 %] - Dry Hop 7,0 Days
15,00 g (0.5 oz) Simcoe [12,00 %] - Dry Hop 7,0 Days
15,00 g (0.5 oz) Cascade [5,00 %] - Dry Hop 7,0 Days
1,0 pkg Safale American (DCL/Fermentis #US-05)
Measured Original Gravity: 1,060 SG
Measured Final Gravity: 1,012 SG
Actual Alcohol by Vol: 6,6 %
Bitterness: 60,9 IBUs
Est Color: 13,6 EBC
I have used galatine in my keg to clear it and somehow i think I stripped a lot of hop flavor. And I think that Simcoe overwhelmed other hops.
So I'm wondering what is the best ratio of simcoe-amarillo to get more fruity character. Maybe 2:1 for amarillo? Besides those hops now I have also nelson sauvin. What is your recommendation for hops schedule with those hops? I like a lot Brewdog Punk IPA so that is my reference for hop aroma.
Thank you all
