Having a clear out of my freezer so can get some new hops.
I've got 17g left of simcoe, columbus and amarillo. I made an extract brew that I'm currently drinking (not right now, its only 9.22 - I'll at least wait till 10) with these hops plus some left over chinook and its incredible. Originally I done 20g columbus and simcoe for the full boil so think I'll still go with 17g columbus for the full boil. Was then planning on adding the simcoe at 5 and steep the amarillo while cooling the wort.
Anyone else have a better idea? I like a big hop punch, like American IPA and nice and bitter. Cheers
This brew is AG using 5.17kg MO and 400g of crystal 120

Re: Hop advice
Sorry none of us have responded. Did you end up brewing as suggested?
If not, here's another fun concept to consider:
When I've got a bunch of dual-purpose hops like those, and feel like taking a flyer, I just mix them all together in a bowl, throw a little in as first wort hops, then equal weights at 30 min, flame-out then steep until chilled, and maybe hold some back for dry-hopping. It may not be the easiest thing to recreate exactly, but it'll certainly be complex.

Re: Hop advice
Just opened, not too bad. Probably still needs a bit longer to carb. Not much body and hop flavour and aroma still quite mild. Think this is one for the shed for a good few weeks! Maybe its because of what I had before hand...
