grew hops now what

[cactusfunk087]

I grew hops for the first time this year and got around 6 ozs from 4 different plants. I have never brewed and would like to try and come up with a good extract ipa recipe. The hops I have are 1.5 oz of Chinook 2.5oz of glacier 2/3rd oz of horizon and 2oz of zeus. I kinda sketched out this off other recipes I've seen

5gal batch
Wyeast 1056
1lb 10l crystal steeped 20min
1lb carapils steeped 20min
3.3 extra light lme at 60min
3.3 extra light lme at 30min

2/3rd oz horizon 60min
2/3rd oz Zeus 60min
1oz zues 15min
2/3rd oz Zeus 10 min
1oz Chinook 5 min
1oz glacier 0 min
1.5oz glacier dry hop 7days

Lemme know I'm just a noob

Fresh hops are best used as late additions. Don't waste them on bittering additions! Also, if you are adding fresh hops post boil, it's called wet hopping

If you want to do an entirely fresh hopped beer, the hop schedule will suffice. Good luck!

Its called wet hopping even if they are dry? Thanks for all the help will the malt grains and yeast all b ok for an ipa?

Ah, didn't realize you dried them. I assumed since you were doing an IPA, you would use them wet. It's only once a year you get to do that!

Haha I thought for the first brew I'd just dry them next year when I get more and have a clue ill do a wet hop ale

I would suggest changing the 10L to 20L to bring the color up a little bit. (With 20L I calculated 6.34 SRM, min is 6.0 for American IPA)

For your hops, I calculated about 89 IBU, which is pretty high.
If you bumped the dry extract up to 7lbs total, it would help balance the IBU to alcohol ratio.
85.7:7.2ABV

However, since there is some variation in hops, you might be OK as-is.
