Made a late decision to brew an IIPA on Saturday. I don't know a whole lot about the style but am using pale malt, MO, crystal 77, a few pounds of dextrose and a touch of honey malt to hit around 1.090 OG.
I mostly brew lagers with noble hops and haven't used many American hop varieties. I have the following in inventory (all in leaf form except the Cascade which are whole hops) 2 oz Simcoe (14.1 AA), 2 oz Crystal (3.4 AA), 2 oz Centennial (10.5 AA), 2 oz Cluster (8.7 AA), 2 oz Ahtanum (4.0 AA), 2 oz Soriachi Ace (14.1 AA), 2 oz Amarillo (10.4 AA), 2 oz Cascade (6.0 AA).
What would you suggest as a hop schedule? I'd like to end up with 100-120 IBUs and am thinking two weeks of dry hopping. I'm thinking the high AA hops at 60 minutes then numerous additions in the last 15 minutes (but I have nothing against additions at any time during the boil).
Appreciate whatever advice anyone can give!
