I'm brewing an IPA this Saturday & I have a few goals with it...
1) I'm aiming for something in between an American IPA & Imperial IPA...7.5% ABV & 85 IBUs
2) For the flavor profile, I'm looking for a slightly bitter bite at the beginning of the taste, followed by some citrus but mostly piney flavor & aroma towards the middle & end of the taste.
Here's my hop schedule as it stands now (Total of 86 IBU)...
- .5 oz Simcoe 60 minutes
- 1 oz Centennial 45 minutes
- .5 oz Amarillo 30 minutes
- .5 oz Amarillo & 1 oz Chinook 15 minutes
- 1 oz Chinook & .5 oz Simcoe 5 minutes
- 1 oz Chinook at flameout
- 2 oz Simcoe & 2 oz Chinook dry hop 7 days
Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated!
