I needed quick entry for an upcoming June competition; it has to be American. I used the Lake Walk Pale Ale recipe as my base and subbed out a couple of grains comperable to what is available at my LHBS. I wanted to keep the same Hop-Up with the Amarillo and Simcoe. LHBS was out of Amarillo, so I am subbing with Chinook. The Alphas are 3 points higher on the Chinook. I am trying to figure out if I should keep the same weight of hops at a shorter schedule time (40 or 50 mins opposed to 60), or cut my weight in hops and go .50 oz at 60 mins. (Recipe is .75). IME cutting hops has never worked for my bittering, so....what do you all think? What would you do?
