Hop Help

[revansCAAD8]

Hi gang, looking for some suggestions on which hops and/or good combos for my next brews (AG). Likely do an IPA next. Here is my inventory after winning some at my local homebrew club meeting!
18oz Cascade
1.80oz Centennial
1.20oz Chinock
2oz Citra (leaf)
2oz Crystal (leaf)
2.20oz Hallertauer, New Zealand
1lb Mt. Hood (leaf)
13.90oz Vanguard
12oz Warrior
10oz Willamette

Any help is appreciated,
Robert

In my experience the "C" hops play well together.

I would say the C hops with a bit of mt hood and/or wilamette. I like a citrusy IPA with a bit of spiceness to it but that's my personal preference. I tend to do hops like citra towards the end of the boil or at 0 or DH.

You have a good mix of hops so you've got plenty of options.

If you want something citrus/piney use a mix of Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, and Citra. You can use Warrior or Cascade to bitter. Crystal could work well too.

For something more spicey you could use Mt. Hood, Hallertauer or Willamette.

Not familar with Vanguard.

I just did a IPA with a dry hop of 1 oz Chinook, 2 oz Centennial, and 1 oz Citra and the beer smells intoxicating.

Yeah I definitely like the 'C' hops in my IPA's but have never used Mt. Hood hops before. Beersmith says:
"Used for: Finishing American and British Ales
Aroma: Mild, grassy, floral, slightly spicy
Substitutes: Fuggles, East Kent Goldings
Examples: Sierra Nevada Porter, Ballard Bitter"

So, how would you schedule it in?

Thanks,
Robert

I have never used Crystal, Hallertauer, or Mt. Hood before. Used the Vanguard recently for the first time in an Indian Brown and was very nice.

In an IPA/Ales Hopper?

Thanks,

ya, aren't we talking about IPA's?

 

[CaribouBrewmasters]

Bitter with chinook, centennial, and/or warrior. Finish with Cascade. Dryhop with citra.

Or.

For an earthier herbal, slightly spicy mix. Bitter with Willamette. Finish and/or dry hop with Mt. Hood and Crystal.
