DIPA hop schedule with leftover hops

[MikeSkril]

Hi all,

I want to brew up an DIPA (5.5gal) using the hops I have left .
Sorachi Ace 2oz 12%
Amarillo 0.65oz 6.7%
Nugget 0.3oz 12.6%
Citra 1oz 13.7%

I know that's not a lot of hops. :-(

Any suggestions for bittering, aroma and dry hopping?

 

[douglasbarbin]

What are the alpha acid percentages of each?

At any rate, it won't be much of a DIPA with only 4 oz. of hops. I think you can pretty much forget about dry-hopping.

Just updated my post. Thanks

I would use Nugget and Sorachi Ace for bittering. All of the Nugget and enough Sorachi Ace to get the kind of bittering you want. I would use Citra, Amarillo, and whatever Sorachi Ace is left for aroma and dry hop.

Thanks. I was thinking the same.

I'd make a 3gal beer instead...but then that is pretty much the only size I brew recently.

Definitely a good suggestion to make a smaller batch.

I would FWH with the Sorachi, boil for 60 mins. Turn off the heat and take each variety of hop remaining and divide them in half. At flame out, I would toss in half of the hops and let them sit for 20-30 mins. When the temp gets down to 180*, toss in the remaining. Again, steep those hops for another 20-30 mins. These hop stands will add a ton of flavor and aroma to the finished product.
Also, every five minutes or so, stir your wort for like 30 seconds while the hops steep.

Brew on

Lower the gravity and just do an IPA.

Hop as described above. Late.

You know I just realized that you have 2 ounces of the sorachi. Only use the one ounce for your ipa. Take the other ounce and divide it as described. I just don't know how Sorachi pairs with citra and amarillo. Not really enough nugget to make a difference. Hell I can't imagine it would be bad!

Brew on

Not enough hops for a DIPA.

 

[MikeSkril]

I made my recipe now and I'm getting an IBU over 80 and I have still 1oz for dry hopping. Well, not a lot for dry hopping, but it will still be good beer I think.

Can we see the recipe?

Sure, but don't be too hard on me. I just used the stuff I have left as my store is closed at the moment. And I really want to make a DIPA.

I think the grain bill looks great. I would consider-and it's really up to you- bittering with the one ounce of Sorachi only ( and maybe the nugget due to its higher AA and because you don't have a lot, though it actually may benefit in the hop stand) and move everything else to the end and hop-stand. Bitterness still gets extracted during a hop stand AND you get a ton of aroma and flavor to boot. Interesting selection on the dry hops in a good way, but given that you have less than a half of an ounce total I doubt you'll get much aroma with that.
I would like to know how it turns out.

Brew on

 

[cantrell00]

Id move .50 oz of sorachi @ 60 and the 30 min to 5.

I'd use everything I had left @ 5 instead of 15 & flame out.

Possibly move the dry hops to flame out/hopstand. You could always get your dry hops later.

 

[m00ps]

I dont think 4oz is nearly enough for a DIPA, or even like a session IPA. IME to get a in your face hops flavor (not just bitterness) akin to commerical IPAs youll need at least twice that much

and i second that hopstand. I wouldnt consider doing an IPA without it

 

[MikeSkril]

So, I wanted to share the outcome. I finally waited to get some more hops but I was sticking a little to my original recipe.

It came out very good. Strong head which stays forever if the glass is clean.
Very tasty and easy to drink.

I left the hops in the kettle (hop bag) for 10 minutes after boil and also while I cooled the wort.

I will brew that again!
