Yeah where have I been right?
Anyway just trying out Amarillo hops for the first time, I was tempted to blend but no harm using them solo.
Simple IPA Recipe 1.059 planned OG (will bump it up with late primary sugar additions)
152F Mash
10# 2Row
2# Munich
.5# Crystal 80
1tsp Gypsum in Mash
1.5oz Columbus -60min (my standard bittering hop)
1oz Amarillo -10min
2oz Amarillo -Steep 30min around 170F-180F
2oz Amarillo -Dryhop 6 days
M44 - West Coast Yeast (pacman'ish some say)
I guess this should give me a good idea as far as flavor & aroma for this "new to me" hop. I've used cascade mostly for a hop of this type (fruity, citrus). And looking forward to seeing how they compare. Reviews are leading me to believe more orange than lemon so we'll see.
I've got at least 3 more to test out in a single hop recipe before I begin blending with others. Mosaic, Huell Melon and Ekuanot are next on the list for a single hop ale.
