i decided to try 3 different IPA recipes with the same grain bill (96% 2row and 4% crystal 40) and using Columbus hops to add the majority of bittering and finish with each; amarillo, calypso and simcoe.
I'm going to boil the Columbus for 60mins and add each hop at 10,5,0 mins and dry hop.
I want to get a better feel for the hops and eventually develop a nice tropical, fruity IPA with about 80-90 ibu.
Anyone have success with this sort of thing? I did the simcoe batch tonight and it smelled fantastic.
