Hi all!
I am trying to concoct a recipe to really impress my buddy, who, according to his untappd, is a big fan of APA's. A trend I see on his untappd is that Galaxy, Simcoe, Citra, and Mozaic (in that order) seem to be his preference.
He also claims "smoothness" is important to him which made me consider an IPL, but I doubt all 4 hops could play together in a lager?
Does anyone think I could make a late addition heavy pale ale work with all 4 hops mentioned? If so, how/when would you utilize each?
For what it's worth I'm considering a partial mash grain bill of 2 row and miniscule amounts of Vienna and Honey malt (gold extract to hit a gravity of around 6), and focusing on late hop bursts taking center stage!
