Tomorrow I'm brewing a pale ale (23L final volume, 4.5kg pale malt, 250g crystal, 250 carapils - will mash high for a bit of sweetness to balance hop bitterness).
I'm adding Simcoe and Cascade hops and would be keen to hear how much others would use and at what times. I'm looking for a little bitterness (not overwhelming) and plenty of flavour/aroma. I'm thinking of something like:
30min 10g Simcoe
20min 10g Simcoe, 30g Cascade
Dryhop 20 Simcoe, 20g Cascade
Any thoughts? Hop additions is what I've struggled most with in my first few all-grain beers. I find beer calculators aren't super helpful.
Thanks.
