So, I'm planning my first all grain batch. Not sure when I'll be able to brew it, I still have a few weeks to heal from hernia surgery, but I need some help formulating. Specifically, help in creating a good mesh of hop flavors, given the varieties I have to choose from.
Please offer suggestions, but here's where I am so far:
Oat Pale Ale
6 gallon batch
Grain bill:
9 lbs 2 Row Rahr Malt
1 lb Fawcett Oat Malt
.5 lbs Cara Pils
.75 lbs Victory Malt
1 lb Munich Malt
This is my hop inventory I have to choose from:
Type AA Oz
--------------------------
Amarillo 7.0 3
Cascade 5.9 1
Cascade 7.8 2
Centennial 8.0 3
Chinook 11.1 1
Columbus 12.3 1
Horizon 10.9 1
Santium 4.6 2
Any suggestions on hop combinations to really make this pop? I'm thinking of some combination of Amarillo or Cascade with Centennial for late flavor hops, but I'd like opinions
Thanks crew!
