making an imperial IPA.
20lbs 2 row
1lb crystal 40L
dough in is planned to be about 155.
I have 4oz summit, 8oz simcoe and 4 oz citra. my original plan was
1oz simcoe @80
1oz citra @15
1oz simcoe @ 15
2oz simcoe @ 10
2oz citra dry hop @ 6 days out from kegging.
am i on the right path here? the idea is a fruitier double that finishes with a light sweetness. from what i've dug up simcoe has a funk to it that might go well with citra's "dank" funk. summit is also known for a funk but i'm less familiar.
as for the rest of this beer, i don't want to hop the mash because i'm going to partigyle a second running and think up something with the remainder of hops. leaning towards turning this hop bill inside out and going with a citra flavored pale ale with simcoe for aroma. though aroma could be a job for summit. with the current simcoe limitations i'd rather not take a highly sought after hop and waste it on just aroma.
