Ipa

[Iberwolf]

Hello guys,
I'm trying to put together a recipe for an IPA and needed your help to better identify the hops to use in this type of beer because I am very undecided on multiple hops and only have two in mind to use and liked to use four hops.
The following hops I will use are:
-Chinook
-Cascade

Additional Information
Malte: Weyermann (Pale Ale)
Yeast: Fermentis (Safale US 05).
I am counting on your support to help me.

Cheers

i think you messed up your post there. Is your grain bill 100% Pale Ale? Dont get me wrong, it can make a good IPA, i usually like a bit of wheat and some cane sugar to dry mine out

Hello, I have also wheat malt Pale Ale, but do not know what percentage to use with malt Pale Ale.

Shell of? I'm not familiar with that variety...

Want to tell Cascade, but the phone corrected alone because of automatic writing. Sorry for my mistake.

Well that would make more sense use the chinook for bittering, cascade for aroma.

I am thinking for two more hops to give it more flavor, bitterness and flavor ...
What is it advised to use?
One of my influences for this style of beer is the Punk IPA

Since you're in Europe, I recently used three newly developed German hop varieties in an American style IPA and its great. They have a lot of citrus and tropical fruit flavors and aromas - Huell Melon, Mandarina Bavaria and Hallertau Blanc. Any of them would go well with Chinook and Cascade.

Centennial is a hop that is often used with Chinook and Cascade. I like Citra with both of those, also.

Cascade and chinook pair well together. If you want a more aggressive bitterness use chinook for bittering but you can use both late in the boil for flavor and aroma

I typically do 20-30% wheat in my IPAs and it really helps bring out the fruity flavors from the hops. So that's what id recommend

And what more hops recommend? I was thinking of using two more hops. I liked to use El Dorado and plant at home too this hop variety, but already informed me that I can not get that hops to be patented.

El dorado would work to. Off the top of my head, these are a bunch of hops i usually see paired with cascade and chinook:
Centennial
Amarillo
Simcoe
Citra
Columbus
apollo
summit
nugget
mosaic
falconers flight

I like these three hops you mainly suggested Manderina!
I do not know why, but I'm more upset for American hops.
Centennial never used.
I have cascade of rhizomes and chinook at home and liked to plant two more varieties of hops at home to can use at home in the IPA

Which of these hops is to be found in the market in rhizomes?
I know centennial is available.

If you are looking to grow your own hops, that limits things a little bit. A lot of the newer American hops, like Amarillo, Simcoe and Citra, are patented and owned and you cannot get rhizomes to grow them yourselves.

Here are some I know you can get rhizomes for and a description of them from the Midwest Brewing Supply's website:

Centennial

Centennial is a classic American hop with flavor and aroma properties said to be similar to Cascade, but more intense and with a higher alpha acid. We think it has less of the Cascade grapefruityness and more of a floral citrus quality that makes it unique and very pleasant. It's higher alpha acid makes it an excellent dual purpose hop. 9.5-11% AA.Grows well in all climates. Susceptible to downy mildew.

Columbus

Columbus is a very high alpha acid hop with a pungent, resinous, "dank" aroma and flavor. It also has a high essential oil content which makes it well suited for dry hopping. Very popular for American IPAs. It has a 14.5-15.5% AA. Grows well in dry, hot climates. Vigorous, but susceptible to mildew diseases.

Galena

Galena is a high alpha variety reputed to be the most widely used commercial bittering hop. Renowned for contributing a clean and crisp bitterness that blends well with finishing hops, it is suitable for all beer styles. It has a pleasant aroma of medium intensity with a citrusy, woody, spicy edge. AA of 10-15%. Early maturation with moderate yield and favorable storage properties. Some susceptibility to mildew and aphids.

Nugget

Nugget is a high alpha hop variety characterized by a snappy bitterness that gives a pleasant bite, especially well suited to strong ales such as imperial stout and barley-wine. It also has favorable aromatic profile with a bright 'green' character of herbal citrus. 12.0-14.0% Alpha Acid Content. Grows well in all climates and is mildly resistant to most pests and diseases.

I will use centennial. Can I use more variety other than for planting. What will be the hops to match best with: Chinook, Centennial and Cascade?
