Hi all,
I'm going to be brewing a largish IPA with New Zealand hops (save for some Warrior or Magnum for bittering). Still debating on whether to have this be a black IIPA or "standard". Grain bill:
80% 2 row
10% sugar
10% Munich
plus a little Carafa II (I'm currently leaning towards black IPA).
As for hops, I have available 4 oz each of Green Bullet, kohatu, motueka and Pacific Gem.
The inspiration was Green Flash's Green Bullet, which I think is fantastic.
Initial thought:
Magnum or Warrior for bittering
1 oz GB, .75 Pacific Gem, .5 each motueka/kohatu @ 10 minutes
1 oz GB, .75 Pacific Gem, .5 each motueka/kohatu @ FO/hop stand
Dryhop
1 oz GB, .75 motueka .5 each Pacific Gem/Kohatu (two times)
But I'm just spitballing here. I might consider using more kohatu as I've read that kohatu is not particularly assertive.
Bonus: any thoughts on whether to go with a standard or black IPA are also welcomed.
