Inspiration

[calumrobertson]

Hi,
Looking for a bit of inspiration as I've brewed a few single IPAs recently which have been good...also brewed a Kahtutu Galaxy PA/IPA which is fermenting away. Ive a bunch of hops needing used up but at a creative dry spell as to which to use and how to combine them in my next beer...something hoppy though is a must...just looking for ideas of combos that people have found work. I've got:

Simcoe
Mosaic
Stella
Galaxy (only like 20g)
Pacific Jade
Nelson Sauvin
Chinook
Columbus

About a 100gs of each (apart from the Galaxy).

Any good recipe ideas with that lot. Also got MO, Crystal, Munich, Vienna and Carapils.

Thanks!

Sounds like the makings of a Brewdog Punk IPA to me.

It's not terribly specific, but here's what I've gathered. I don't know the timing of the hops additions, though.

BrewDog Punk IPA
BrewDog - Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
ABV: 5.6%
IBU: 45
Colour: golden, some chill haze
Grainbill: 100% Maris Otter Extra Pale Malt
Hops: Simcoe, Ahtanum, Chinook, Nelson Sauvin (previously contained Crystal, Motoeka as well)

Personally, I still prefer IPAs with some malt complexity, such as (this should at least jump-start your imagination again):

Abita Jockamo IPA: Pale, CaraRed Malt, Pale Crystal Malt

Bell's Two Hearted Ale: 82% Pale, 11% Vienna, 4% Crystal 20L Malt, 3% CaraPils/Dextrine Malt?
