I would cut the Munich in half, add 5% sugar, and simplify the hop schedule... I got a headache just by glancing at it. Use an appropriate amount of the noble, grassy, European hops earlier in the boil and finish with the citrusy, fruity, American hops late in the boil and the dryhop. You can really overdo it with the early hop additions, but you have a lot more leeway with late hop additions. The dryhop can be 3 oz. even.

Lol. It was even more of a headache to input. So for sugar just use dextrose? When would I add it? The just move the European hops to the beginning and finish with the American hops?

Wow I definitely got a headache lol.... I would cut the Munich in half. The hop schedule is a beast but I also second using the American hops toward the end. Really curious what you end up brewing (final recipe) and the outcome.

HA.... I do that... toss in equal amounts of each hop at the same time...

but like you said... I never did it in this many additions...

Mostly becasuse it is too much work...

Compress it...

Or decide what you want for flavor and arroma and concetrate those at the 20 and less additions...

DPB

Wait.... I wan-na make anther comment.

19.5 OZ of hops in a 5 Gallon batch?

Me thinks that this in no way,,, shape of form,,, will be an AMERICAN IPA (AMERICAN IMPERIAL IPA maybe)

I mean it may be fun to do but I am not sure if you will learn a lot from it....

With your hop selection you could brew few Hefe-Weisens, Alts or Kolschs
A couple English Bitter, ESB, or IPA
...and still have enough hops to do your American IPA...

I considered this but with the hops already being old, albeit well taken care of, and the time I actually get to brew they would still sit around forever. This is just a way to clean out the freezer for the stuff I use regularly and to experiment with a new batch.

Ya I get it but a good look at them and "SMELL TEST"... will tell you a lot.

You could still do multiple batches and use larger and fewer additions.

I mean it looka like a few bucks worth of hops so if you find some that are "old" you have just identifed your bittering hops.

I have a pount of whole-leaf citra someone gave me in a vaccum bag...

They are changing color... sounds like I should brew a saison... (that would be true to style)...
