So for an IPA, I have 1oz. Galena, 1oz. Mt. Hood, and 2oz. Ahtanum, all pellets.
I was planning on doing the Galena for 90 minutes (the mash is pils-based), Mt. Hood for around 20-30, Ahtanum at 10 and flameout, then maybe picking up an ounce or two of some whole hops for a dry hop in secondary, but I'm not wild about this combo. I subbed Mt. Hood for Horizon since my LHBS doesn't have it, and I'm afraid of it not matching up with the Ahtanum well. It was suggested that I FWH the Horizon, but I'm not sure if FWHing the Mt Hood will yield similar results.
Any suggestions for this schedule? I would like to keep the bitterness toned down and make it more of an aromatic-hoppy IPA and let some of the malt come through.
