I’ve got a Red IPA that I’m looking at changing the hops in the recipe.
My choices are - Galaxy, Eclipse, Citra and Mosaic. I’ve won all these in comps and have so much I need to start getting rid of them. So I’m not worried about how much we use. I usually whirlpool and dry hop at the end of fermentation and again in keg.
Anyone care to offer a blending suggestion? The style guideline lists stone fruit, tropical fruit, citrus, resin, pine, berry and melon aroma/flavour. I expect these four hops to provide tons of that. Would we use all 4? I’m not sure if that will produce a muddled profile or a blend of deliciousness.
