Ok, so I've recently become a big fan of American IPA's and have been doing a lot of research here on hops. I think I have the flavor and aroma hop additions down but was wondering about bittering hops. I'd like to use some more mellow bitterness type hops for bittering that don't sting the tongue too bad. I see many using Columbus, Magnum, Warrior and others for bittering while saving the Citra, Amarillo and Simco types for flavor/aroma. What type of bittering hops do you favor?
What about FWH additions? Will that mellow the bitterness but also give some unwanted flavors that will hide my flavor/aroma hops?
