I'm going to try an American Pale Ale with all the hops added late, as is sometimes discussed by Jamil and others as a way to get a less harsh bitterness.
Grainbill:
10 lbs Maris Otter
.5 lbs Munich
.5 lbs Victory
.5 lbs Crystal 40
.5 lbs Crystal 20
est OG at 5.5 gal is 1.055
I'm going for around 40 IBU's with Centennial and Cascades.
If I add 2 oz Centennial at 20 minutes left in the boil, and some more centennial/cascades at 5 min and also at 0 minutes, I should be pretty close to the 40. The bittering Centennial will be pellets, and the flavoring/aroma centennial will be whole hops. All cascades are pellets.
For those who have done an all late hop brew, is 20 minutes for the bittering addition about right? Should I go longer with a bit less, or shorter with a bit more?
