Citra/Sabro IPA Hopping

[loomisman]

I regularly brew this recipe with phenomenal results with various single hops. I recently had a beer that was Citra and Sabro. I’d like to modify this recipe to do both. My thought was to split the whirlpool and dry hop addition in half. Thoughts?

Gonna follow this one. I just did a Citra APA that I really like so this might be something to try.

I am trying to figure out a Sabro strategy (to put that 1 lb bag I picked up from YVH a while back to use). Sabro is a very distinctive hops that can really stand out. Sometimes it is a nice coconut character, but it can often be a woody cedar vibe.

I made a version of the Brave Noise Pale Ale recipe that was close to 50/50 Mosaic and Sabro. I felt that the cedar character of the Sabro dominated the flavors.

I recently kegged a NEIPA that used Sabro at the 25% level (with Cryo-Pop + BRU-1 in the whirlpool and with BRU-1 in the dry hop). This one is much better, but I still feel that the Sabro character is pretty dominant.

My house IPA is a Citra/Sabro NEIPA. The grain bill is simply 70/30 two-row/pilsner (although I've done it with just two-row as well), with the following hop schedule: 1.5oz Citra/1oz Sabro at 10 minutes and 5 minutes, then 2oz each at flameout/whirlpool for 10 minutes at 180°. NO bittering addition. Dry hop after 3-4 days (or when I feel like it) with 2.5oz Citra/2oz Sabro. I've gotten the best results with YVH Lupomax for both of them, but it's pricey; the regular T90 pellets do just as well. I ferment it on Imperial Loki kveik at about 80-85°; this really helps bring out the pineapple character in the hops, especially with a slight underpitch.
