New guy here but not new to home brewing.
Been brewing for about 5 years now. Just don't get to brew as often as I would like - way too busy with work.
Over the past year, have accumulated quite a hop collection (e-bay bids!)
Got them all at good deals, now I'm trying to figure out what to brew.
Requesting hop combination suggestions (not good at that yet.)
I've done a few Smash brews, kit brews, etc.
Could really use input on which hops pair best for flavor/aroma and with suggested beer types!
All hops are pellets, 2015, and bought during cold times and immediately stored in a sub-zero freezer.
-------------------------------------
16.00 oz Azacca [9.90 %]
16.00 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50 %]
16.00 oz Bravo [15.50 %]
16.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %]
16.00 oz Centennial [10.00 %]
16.00 oz Chinook [13.00 %]
16.00 oz Citra [12.00 %]
16.00 oz Cluster [7.00 %]
16.00 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %]
16.00 oz El Dorado [15.00 %]
16.00 oz Galaxy [14.00 %]
16.00 oz German Mandarina Bavaria [8.50 %]
16.00 oz Goldings, B.C. [5.00 %]
16.00 oz Hallertauer [4.80 %]
16.00 oz Meridian [6.50 %]
16.00 oz Mosaic [12.50 %]
16.00 oz Simcoe [13.00 %]
16.00 oz Sorachi Ace [12.00 %]
16.00 oz Summit [17.00 %]
The hops below are misc. hops in 1oz bags - lots of leftovers from re-doing kits and saving the hops.
8.00 oz German Merkur [13.50 %]
8.00 oz Newport [13.50 %]
8.00 oz Crystal [3.50 %]
8.00 oz Galena [12.50 %]

4.00 oz Chinook [13.00 %]
4.00 oz Willamette [5.50 %]

I probably should add grain recipes to apply the above.
I've got 40lbs of Crisp Maris Otter grains, 6 - 3lb bags of Bavarian Wheat DME, 1 Light DME, 1 Dark DME.
Planning to do 8 batches (5 lbs of grain, 1 bag of DME, to get 10lbs equivalent with 1.05 Starting Gravity.)
This should give me 8 good Pale batches to try the hops with (1 will be more caramel flavors with the Dark DME.)
I've also got 2 other all grain batches prepped - but no hops allocated to them yet.
1) 10 lbs Pilsen, 1 lb Rye, 1 lb Red Wheat, 1 lb Vienna -- This will be a Saison batch
2) 5 lbs Pale, 2 lbs Rye, 2 lbs Wheat, 2 lbs Oats -- This will be a Rye Pale
