Hop Guidance

[timos]

Hi all,

I am doing a BIAB later tonight. I need a little insight into the hop schedule.
Here is my pale ale grain bill based on Jukas https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/russian-river-row-2-hill-56-clone-369668/ russian river clone

5.5 gal batch
I have 8.5#s belgian pilsener
4.5#s Maris Otter
1#s Crystal 20
wlp001 yeast

The hops I have on hand:
1 oz sterling
1 oz liberty
1 oz fuggles whole leaf
1 oz mosaic

I was thinking about bittering with the fuggles
using half ounce each of the sterling and mosaic for later additions and the rest in a dry hop. Completely leaving out the Liberty.

But I dont have experience with any of these hops except mosaic.

I am shooting for about 32-36 IBUs

Thoughts?

How much hops do you have of each on hand. with what I see on your question I would do this.

Use Liberty and or fuggle as bittering to get your ibus. I would pick just one if you have more on hand and would suggest liberty.

Next for flavor and aroma I would stick with Sterling and Mosaic. Although I have never used these hops they come from american hop verities like cascade and simcoe which are used in most IPA and Pale ales. I would do this with what you have:

15 mins left add
.5 oz Sterling
.5 oz Mosaic

5 mins left
.5oz Sterling
.5oz Mosaic

Flame out
one ounce each.

Thanks for the input. I have an ounce of each hop. I actually wont be brewing this until Sunday so have a little more time. I forgot the hockey playoffs were on last night.
60 min addition of 1 oz Liberty
20 min addition of .5 mosaic
15 min addition of .5 sterling
5 min addition of .5 mosaic
flameout addition of .5 sterling

I could add the ounce of fuggles leaf at flameout or dry hop with it for the aroma. Earthy/woody in the nose sounds good to me with a tiny bit of citrus,

I do have a fuggles smash I can try soon to see how the fuggles might play out here.

Thanks again for the suggestions eluterio
