So I'm new to Chinook hops and was wondering: what combinations with Chinook are people fans of (in an IIPA, for argument sake)?
I think I'll be doing Amarillo-Simcoe-Chinook for my next IPA. Maybe an ounce of each for flavor/aroma. Would that be a manageable amount of Chinook?
Thanks ya'll - I see Chinook-Amarillo-Simcoe on the horizon now for sure. I will make sure to limit my total Chinook addition to around 1 oz.
Made a pale ale last night with Chinook:
5.5 gallons
8.5 lbs US 2-row
1.0 lbs Munich
0.5 lbs Crystal 60L
3/4 oz Chinook @ 60 (11.5% AA)
1/2 oz Amarillo @ 30 (7.5% AA)
1/2 oz Chinook @ 10
1/2 oz Amarillo @ 0
May dry hop it, not sure.
OG: 1.050
For me, Chinook goes well with any of the "C" hops..Colombus, Chinook, Centennial, Cascade.
I also think they pair well with a citrusy type hop like Amarillo.
Sounds gold but 4.5oz is big, big dry hop.
