Hi
I'm about to lay down my next kit brew using a tin of Cascade Imperial Pale. I have a bottle of amarillo hops handy and was thinking I could probably steer it in a direction where it might vaguely approximate a Squires Golden Ale clone. (Well, very vaguely!) I was thinking of the following recipe:
1 tin Cascade Imperial Pale Ale
500g Light Dry Malt
500g Coopers Brew Enhancer2
I was thinking of throwing about a heaped-teaspoon of Amarillo hops pellets into the brew with the fermentables, then dry-hopping with a similar quantity at secondary. Does anyone have any advice on whether that tactic would give the beer a nice, aromatic hoppy finish? Does the amount of hops sound about right? (I don't own scales that will measure such small quantities yet, unfortunately.)
