I'm about to place an order for my next 5 brews and I'm trying to decide what to brew that also incorporates my homegrown hops. I've already settled on making a nugget SMASH, barley wine, and vanilla porter. The hops I'd like to keep these limited to are nugget, centennial, cascade, chinook, and sterling.
Harvest IIPA
Grains - aiming for ~1.075 OG and 7.5% alcohol
10lb US 2-row
2lb Munich 20L
2lb Vienna
1lb Crystal 40L
Hops - aiming for 70-90 IBU range
2 oz Nugget and possibly chinook combo for ~70 IBU at 60min.
0.5 oz each cascade + centennial at 15min.
0.5 oz each cascade + centennial at 0 min.
1 oz nugget dry hop 7 days
other dry hops??
This is very loosely based on Troegs Nugget Nectar. My big question is how to go about hopping this thing. Will the nugget and chinook go well together? I'd like to throw in another 1-2 oz of hops somewhere, but I'm not sure where.
Amber Lager
Grains
6lb US 2-row
4lb Munich 10L
1lb Crystal 40L
0.5lb Caramunich
Hops - ~25 IBU total
1oz Sterling 60min.
1oz Sterling 15min.
1oz Sterling 0 min.
This will be my first attempt at a lager. It'll be fermented/lagered in the garage sometime this fall. I'm leaning toward using saflager W-34/70 yeast. I picked the hops schedule mostly to give me an idea of sterling hops characteristics.
How do they look?
