I've been working on clearing out some various hops in some APAs and IPAs lately. Ahtanum and Calypso made a decent APA, but nothing spectacular. Nelson and Kohatu hit my last IPA out of the park. The Amarillo/Equinox APA was bottled five days ago but smelled terrific. The next IPA is in the planning stages.
Here's what I've got, most of them in decent amounts (4-6 oz), but stock's lower on a couple of these: Ahtanum, Azacca, Caliente (1.5 oz), Equinox, Fantasia, Huell Melon, Lemon Drop, Pacifica, and Sorachi Ace.
I'm currently thinking Sorachi and Lemon Drop, but I'm far from convinced as that sounds more like something that should be fermented on a saison yeast and I've banned myself from getting too experimental this school year (I'm a teacher so I measure years from August to July). Another idea is Azacca, Equinox, and the rest of the Caliente.
However, I'm an idiot when it comes to hops, so I'm hoping someone who's not as stupid as me has a good suggestion. Thanks!
