Hi,
I am brewing an English style IPA today,\
I'm using the following:
7lbs Light LME
1lb Maris Otter
6oz Crystal Malt
4oz EKG hops - 6.8%AA
4oz Fuggle hops - 3.8%AA
Now, I'm really just considering the timing of the addition of these hops.
I've never really used either before and want to keep it authentic tasting.
Nowhere seems to let me know which is better as a bittering hop, my plan is:
2oz for 60 mins
2oz for 30 mins
2oz for 5 mins
2oz for dry hopping.
But which should I add when?
They are all flowers, not plugs or pellets.
Any help would be great. I'm leaning towards bittering with the fuggles, because of thier nice earthiness, and the Goldings smell good for the later addition.....
