Howdy all,
I'm starting my first IPA soon, I think. It will be about my 6th brew, and 4th all-grain batch.
I've randomly accumulated some hops, and wanted to know if I can get away with using them all. If so, in what combination, and at what parts of the boil (or dry-hop) should I add the various hops? I am largely ignorant of the characteristics of specific hops, and definitely these.
Just looking to make a solid IPA with what I have! Here's what I got!
1 oz Simcoe (pellet)
1 oz Warrior (pellet)
Citra (leaves, shrink-wrapped... not sure the weight!)
I would like to use all of this, if it will come out good, plus any additional hops (whatever is recommended) to make it a nice hoppy IPA. Just a nice combo of bitter, flavor, and aroma, no need to make it a super-hopped beer. Any reason I shouldn't be combining what I have already, due to their characteristics?
Thanks for any input!
