Good morning all – Looking for a DIPA hop schedule. I want to feature the relationship between Comet and Galaxy and supplement with what I have on hand.
On a test run with Comet, I feel it has real potential. Did a Comet / Amarillo pale. Had something that reminded me of apples and honey, but with an underlying earthiness that was itching to be exploited. Galaxy would have clearly been a better pairing.
This is not one of my favorite batches, but the potential for this was definitely there. Obviously one needs to use it wisely, but it seems that something truly unique and wonderful can be created with Comet.
It will be a 5 gal batch and targeting 60 IBU out of the boil and will likely whirlpool at 140°F for 40 min.
Using WLP051 California V yeast. I like what it has done for me and I want to keep using it for now.
Grain bill is undecided, but will probably be a GP/2-row blend with somewhere less than 5% 40L
I need help with the hops.
Here is what I have
Amarillo – 4 oz
Apollo – 4 oz
Citra – 4 oz
Comet – 4 oz
Galaxy – 8 oz
Idaho 7 – 8 oz
Nelson – 4 oz.
What do you think?
