This recipe was composed using beer smith, and is intended to resemble SNPA 2009 Anniversary Ale. I say resemble because they're using Chinook for bittering and I plan on using Magnum, since I just ordered a pound (along with Cascade and US Saaz) from Hops Direct. Based on guidance from the "if you could only choose 3 hops" thread, I'm going on the assumption that as long as you reach the proper IBUs (which, the type of bittering hops does not matter that much. My scale is only accurate to tenths of ounces, so I did not try to get too crazy with hop measurements and instead relied more on timing to get the IBUs dialed in (which is why the magnum is boiled for 39 minutes).
Speaking of boil times, if I am sacrificing more hops in favor of shorter hop boil times, can I reduce the overall boil time from 60 minutes to the longest hop boil time (to save on time and evaporation) or does the wort need at least 60 minutes regardless (think I read this somewhere around here as well).
This will be a partial mash, likely using a 3-gallon cooler rig (yet to be built) and a 10 gallon brew pot, which will allow me to do a full boil (boil size was determined based on my last batch using this pot and the amount of top-up water I had to add). Please share your thoughts.
