Ok guys I've got 30g each of Citra, Centennial and Simcoe as well as 100g Amarillo along with a coopers pale ale, 1kg LDME and 250g of crystal 50. What're some ideas for hop additions etc???? I want a nice hoppy brew with great dry hopping aromas
Cheers mate exactly what I was hunting for! I will use your hop schedule there. Thanks againmenoetes said:You have lots of good flavour and aroma hops there, sir
The coopers can will give you a fair bit of bitterness to begin with so don't worry about any 30 - 60 minutes additions. How about this
Coopers Pale Ale Kit + 1kg of DME and the crystal 50 steeped and hops as follows;
10g centennial @ 15min
15g Citra @10min
15g Citra @0min
Dry hop with just as much Amarillo or Simcoe as you like, at least 30g if you want a good strong nose on it IMO.
This will give you a bitterness of about 44 IBUs (depending on the AA% of your hops). Reduce the 10 minute addition of the Citra to 10g if you want to lower this.
Alternatively for a less bitter but just as tasty brew you could replace the Citra additions with Amarillo (for a 40 IBU brew) or with Simcoe (for a 43 IBU brew). Both would produce pretty tasty beers and you could dry hop with the Citra for them.
