Pick the hops for my NEIPA

[deadwolfbones]

I'm going to attempt a no-boil NEIPA soon and I want to use up some of my huge stash of hops rather than buying more just for this recipe. I don't have any of the typical "cheater" hops you usually find in NEIPAs, so I need to think a bit outside the box.

Which of these would you use (2-3 varieties max)?

Note that the Mosaic is almost gone (maybe 10-14g left). Other quantities should be accurate.

CTZ for bittering and any combo of Idaho 7, Azacca and El Dorado would give you a good neipa.

Forgot to mention, no bittering. Since this is a no-boil NEIPA I'm literally just going to heat some water and DME to 175, whirlpool the hops for 20 minutes, chill, ferment, and dry hop on day 2 or 3.

I had originally planned on Azacca/El Dorado, so this is reassuring!

Was also considering Green Machine (supposedly orange/vanilla).

Ah ok. Sounds interesting. Please post how it turns out. And if you do decide to use Idaho 7, go light. They tend to be very over powering imo.

Will do! Thanks for the advice.

Just did a NEIPA-ish with Comet (1oz @ 20min, 2oz whirlpool, 2oz dry hop). It plays like half Cascade and half Citra, factoring in the lower AA% compared to Citra. Should have done a 4oz or 6oz whirlpool, but overall it is a pleasant beer.

Halltertau Blanc was very delicate in my experience (but I don't have my notes handy, so I don't remember how much I used).

I've made a beer with Ekuanot that came out well, but I didn't get a lot of green pepper out of it. A friend made a NEIPA single-hopped with almost a pound of Ekuanot and the green pepper came through nicely - it was a good beer.

Let us know how it turns out. I'll be doing a no-boil ipa myself in the near future.

You have more hops than some homebrew supply shops.

I really like the Trillium Melcher Street clone, which uses 3 oz of Columbus in the whirlpool, and then 1.5 oz Columbus and 6 oz Mosaic in the dry hop. You could sub the Mosaic with El Dorado, Ekuanot, or Azacca.

I know, I have a problem.

This sounds like an intriguing idea!

I would pick my 2-3 out of these 4:
Centennial
CTZ
EL Dorado
Idaho 7

Alas they're all vacuum sealed. Definitely not gonna open them all up.
