I've got 5 gallons of a Black IPA actively fermenting right now. I've used Citra for bittering and flavoring and added some Amarillo 5 minutes before the end of the boil. My malt bill is 85% maris otter, with some aromatic and special b and a bit of crystal 75.
I'm going for something fairly malty and floral with a lot of fruity notes from the Special B and Amarillo & Citra.
AHS is now carrying Calypso. Their description mentions pear & apple and I think it would be a great addition to this brew, however it's fairly high AA hop. Is it appropriate for dry hopping? How much should I use in combination with the Amarillo? How long should I let the beer sit on them?
