2 gallon IPA with wild hops test recipe

[TandemTails]

A few months ago I harvested and dried about 10 ounces of wild hops here in New Mexico. They were growing around 7,200ft near a stream and I'm guessing they might be related to neomexicanus but really have no clue.

Anyway, I want to try brewing with these but since I have no clue what the AAs are I was planning on adding all of the wild hops as late and dry hop additions with some Columbus at 60min for bittering.

Does this sound good for a 2 gallon test batch?

I plan on fermenting with US-05.

Does that boil schedule look ok? I was hesitant to do longer additions with the wild hops in case they lend too much bitterness.

I think it will be fine as is. I'd probably move one ounce of the boil hops to the dry hop, but its not a big deal. Hopefully it comes out good!

Thanks. I already have 1 oz of dry hopping in there. Are you thinking I should bump the dry hop up to 2 oz and remove one of the boil additions? If that were the case, think I should get ride of the 10m addition or one of the late/flameout ones?

Yea I would make the dry hop 2oz. You could remove the 5 minute addition to dry hop, maybe move the 10 minute to a 15 minute and then keep the 0 minute where it is
