Galaxy, columbus, chinook = solid combo! Huge orange citrus flavor with some earthiness of the Columbus to balance it a little. Really good.
This batch had zero wheat or oats. 13lbs MO, 2 lb crystal 20, 1 lb Vienna. Extreme haze and smooth hop bomb. Haze has to be strictly from the massive flame out addition and steep.
This is also a single dry hop with 5 Oz of hops for 4 days. Any more aroma I wouldn't know what to do with myself!
Wife isn't a huge IPA fan and her response was, "this is good! I'm not even saying that to be nice, I would drink this!"
I like the sounds of that hop combo. Would you mind posting your hop schedule?
Does anyone do a Juicy tasting IPA like these that are clear or nearly so? Just curious cuz I read that most of these Brewers don't bother even trying to clear them, but I'm wondering what would happen if they did. Would they loose the juice? Now I like the look of some of these beers too but I mostly like my beer to be clean and clear. Just askin, not trying to stir anything up...
I think with this "style" you want the haze because it is the hop oils in suspension along with some proteins that keep it there. If you clarify the proteins in the normal ways, you likely end up removing some of the hop oils. That said, I have had a few decent juicy hop bombs that were crystal clear. Not sure if it is harder to make that happen or not, but I just brew to the "style". The quotes are because this is not currently an official "style", but it SHOULD be! Cheers!

Has anyone used equinox hops in this beer?

My last batch was citra/galaxy/equinox. Tasted good and was a hit at a party. Some people say they get green pepper from it, I didn't detect it. I used equal hop amounts for all additions. Going to give azacca hops another go today. Used them in a single hop beer and did not get much of anything from them. Going to blend them with citra and Columbus and see what I get. Anyone had any luck with Azacca combined with anything?

Me tooooooo! Tried to brew the Two Hearted clone and my yeast harvested from Oberon bottles never took off. Ended up pitching some harvested 1318 from my last batch of Hop Hands clone. I moved the bittering addition to 45 min and plan to do a 2 oz dry hop
I'm pretty sure Oberon (wheat beer) is not the same yeast as two hearted. Try the amber for yeast harvesting.

What is the reigning thinking on finishing this beer? I have 10G in primary right now. I was going to transfer to dry hopping kegs at about day 12. Let it sit on the second dry hops for 4-6 days, cold crash for 3-4, and then transfer to serving keg.
I assume no one is doing any gel fining in secondary, right? I do this with beers I'm looking to drop real clear, but this isn't in that category >)
Shooting for a .3 range? Huh.

In an attempt to reduce the chance of oxidation, I'm thinking of eliminating one dry hop addition and taking that addition and adding it to the zero min addition or the WP addition.
I'm not 100% set on the specific hops. Previous versions include Amarillo/Chinook/Simcoe and the orig hops posted by the OP.
Would like to include Galaxy at some point, not necessarily in this batch.
Thoughts?
Here's what I come up with:
41.8% 2 Row
41.8% GP
8.4% Flaked Oats
4% Flaked Barley
2% White Wheat
2% Honey Malt
.65 oz CTZ FWH (36.79 IBU)
.81 oz Simcoe @ 0
1.35 oz Citra @ 0
1.08 oz Amarillo @ 0
.54 oz each Simcoe/Citra/Amarillo WP for 30 min @ 160
.81 oz Citra DH 5 days
.54 oz Amarillo DH 5 days
.27 oz Simcoe DH 5 days
i did a 50% flaked wheat version. it was great
In addition to bumping up the wheat, the hops are waaaay too low in my opinion. I've been using 12-16 ounces per 5 gallon batch for these.
What the papazian are you thinking? That's just madness
