Hi, I'm a n00b homebrewer and would like to brew my first IPA, and I'm not really confident about the hop combination... My idea is to make what I would like to call the "Lumberjack IPA", let me explain
I would like the taste/aroma to remind of something like refreshing pine forest after the rain, so I'm thinking piney hops but I also would like to have some wood/wet earth character. I did my research and found out the most piney / tree sap hops are Simcoe, Chinook and Northern Brewer - what proportions/addition timing would you recommend for these hops?
I'm completely unaware of what hops should be used for that wood, wet earth character and what should be the proportions/timing in relation to piney hops...
I would like this IPA to be about 6~6.5% ABV and not overly bitter with IBU 40~45.
Any recommendations greatly appreciated!
