Hop pairings?

[williamsdm1111]

I'm thinking of using simcoe and Columbus in my next ipa. Just curious if anyone has paired them and how it turned out.

Thanks

Sounds like a lot of "west coast" IPA's.

Ever had Pliny the Elder? That beer is bombed with simcoe and Columbus. Huge dank piney aroma and flavors, personally something I love

I used columbus,nugget,& cascade in my first AE IPA,thanks to nordeastbrewer77's advice. Try replacing the nugget with amarillo in my recipe for more orange/tropical flavors. This time around,I'm doing it PB/PM BIAB style to try to get a PM version of the malt profile...allbeit a bit more complex. I then used all NZ hops from bittering to flavor additions. It'll be dry hopped with the same three hops used for flavoring in the boil. Then it can be tasted & smelled for a more complete experience.

I haven't. It is on the top of my "to try" list though. Today is brew day!! I'm going for it I think. I also have a little leftover cascade...

Go for it, let us know how it turns out!

So, it turned out great. I really like the pairing here. I under carbed it a bit, but it tastes great. Maybe my favorite home brew yet.

Awesome. What was the recipe?

I brew an IPA with Warrior, Simcoe, and Amarillo. Those "proprietary" hops sure are tasty together.

West coast is the best coast for ipa

I did Simcoe and Cascade.... so far been the beer that everyone has liked. Nice citrusy flavor. I would add more though. Did 1 oz cascade at 60 and 1 oz simcoe at 30. Think i'd do 1.5 and 1.5, then a late addition of .5 and .5. Would love to dry hop w .5 oz of each too.

Make both 1.5's & .5's 20 & 10 minutes,respectively. the drty hop that sucker!
