Recipe Question - CTZ IIPA

[Brewin06111]

I recently purchased a pound of CTZ hops... I was thinking about using the Pliny the Elder grain bill and using CTZ hops for my hops bill....
(It's an All-grain recipe)

Does anyone have any suggestions about the hop schedule for this?

I was thinking of something like...

90 - 2oz
60 - 2 oz
30 - 2 oz
FO - 2 oz

then dry hop 2 oz at 2 weeks and 2 more at 3 weeks


thoughts?

I only count 12oz. Are you sure this is a Pliny hope schedule? ;-)

I dunno. I'm not a huge fan of large amount of CTZ- I prefer small aroma doses as a compliment to other hops. If you like it, though, go for it!

I said pliny grain bill but yeah...not sure about the hops part...I haven't used ctz much so I don't know what to do...

Since you mentioned Pliny...maybe 1oz FWH, 1oz 90, 1 oz 60, 2.5 oz 15 , 2.5 oz FO. While you're at it you might as well go 1 oz mash hop also. No sense messing around.
