I am waiting for delivery on the Chinook IPA from NB, but I have decided to try something different for the hops. Since I love Founders Double Trouble so much, I searched for a recipe on the hops and found this:
60m - 3 oz Summit
30m - 1 oz amarillo/simcoe each
15m - 1 oz amarillo/simcoe each
5m - 1 oz amarillo/simco each
dry hop: 1.5 oz amarillo/simcoe each
I had a hard time finding simcoe, but ended up locating some. I have 5 oz of each of the 3 types. I am planning on following the hop schedule above, and not using any of the chinook. Is this a good idea? Anything I am overlooking? I don't think this kit is a very strong IPA...Not sure if that matters. Also, since I have 5 oz of each hop, should I use all? Maybe include the Chinook? I dont want an undrinkable final product.
Thanks!
