What hop varieties, and at what point in the boil (or dry hop), would you suggest? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Looking for some advice on a real grassy/piney hop brew. Thinking chinook, simcoe, etc. just hoping to get some input on quantity and timing in the boil/ dry hop. Any other varieties are welcome as well! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

2616.5 +5 Grapefruit League Pale Ale =2621.5 Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I play college baseball, so we'll be in Arizona for two weeks and get to catch a couple games during our off-days. Thanks for all the advice!

With MLB spring training coming up, I was considering doing a Pale Ale Series, one called the Cactus League, one the Grapefruit League. I'd like each to have its own hop character, the cactus being more piney and the grapefruit being a tropical hop. I was hoping somebody could point me toward a...
