need an ag recipe for a pale ale with these hops that are available...

[WNCBrewman]

.5 oz cluster
.5 oz centennial
1 oz cascade
1 oz centennial

Dry hopping would be ideal....

Ok, gimme a sec

That's not a ton of hops for an APA, unless you're okay with a smaller batch than 5 gal. Here is a grainbill I like. I would probably use the cluster (plus a little centennial if needed) for bittering at 60 then mix what's left and split it between flameout/steep and dry hop:

70% 2 row
20% Vienna
5% white wheat
5% crystal of your choice

 

[azscoob]

I was going to suggest
9.5 lb 2 row
1 lb Munich malt (60L)
.5 lb c-40

Hit the cluster at 60,
.5 oz cascade at 45
.5 oz centennial at 20
.5 oz cascade at 5
Last oz of centennial at flameout to help hold on to the aroma longer than a dry hopping addition.

It's not a lot of hops to play with, my APA is hop conservative but it's still at 5 oz

 

[aStoutObserver]

7 lbs 2-row
1 lb Vienna
8 oz crystal 40L
3 oz Carapils (optional)

.5 oz Cluster @ FWH
.5 oz Centennial @ 1
1 oz Cascade @ 1
1 oz Centennial @ Dry

Use some gypsum in the mash water. Then allow nature to take over. In the end, you will have beer. It might even be a very good beer if fermentation temps are kept in line.

Use the highest Alpha hops at the start of the boil, dump the rest at the end.

Also, buy more hops. You can never have too many hops on hand.

Yes, what Chadwick said. Use a simple grainbill like the ones already suggested. Use your favorite recipe software to see how much of your highest AA% hops it will take at 60 mins to hit 35-45 IBU and throw the rest in at knockout. Then buy more hops and dry hop for several days before bottling/kegging.

You guys rock.
Thanks for the suggestions!

 

[aStoutObserver]

Yeah. Buying an ounce or two more would be great. But if you just go with the amount you have, you'll still end up with a tasty seasonable APA, I think
