I just packaged 2 lbs of homegrown chinook, a pound of homegrown nugget, and a half a pound of homegrown Columbus, with another pound or so of Columbus on the horizon. I'm looking for recipes that take advantage of my hops surplus. I am interested in finding a few Chinook dominant recipes that I could use. I also have a pound of Amarillo to throw in the mix, not homegrown of course. I make 10 gallon batches and love a nice pale ale. I love IPAs as well, but only if they are dry. In fact I enjoy many beer styles, they just have to be dry and not yeast dominated in the flavor profile. That rules out most Belgians, Wheats, and some English Beers too. I also enjoy many porters and stouts and brown ales, so long as they don't finish sweet. I am willing to experiment, but I don't want 10 gallons of "interesting beer." I've been there before. It's hard to drink that much weird beer. I also don't want to make small test batches as I only get to brew so often with a house full of children, that is why I make 10 gallons at a time, and often on those days I make back to back batches to give me four kegs worth. Anyone have some trusty recipes or good suggestions on how to use my harvest? Any constructive help/suggestion/criticism is greatly appreciated.
