After recently having some Victory Yakima Glory and stone sublimely self-righteous ale, I've decided to make an american dark ale (black dipa, etc.)
I'm not sure on the hops to use. I've got a mix of hops around. In addition to those used in the recipe, I have 4 oz each of Northern Brewer, Warrior (13.7AA), EKG, Willamette, and Galena. And another 2oz of Centenial and an oz of Cascade. Don't want the beer to be too piney and the orange marmalade description of Pacifica made me add the biscut malt, not sure if that was a bad idea. I have some Amber candi syrup in stock already and thought about using that to dry out the beer a little.
Batch Size - 6 gallons
Efficiency 75%
Est OG 1.081
Mash 60mins at 150
85% 15 0 American Two-row Pale info 37 1 ~
6% 1 0 Belgian Candi Syrup A info 36 40 ~
4% 0 12 Carafa Special III info 30 525 ~
3% 0 8 Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L info 34 60 ~
3% 0 8 Biscuit Malt info 36 23 ~
hops
use time oz variety form aa
first wort 90+ mins 2.0 Rakau info pellet 10.5
boil 90 mins 1.0 Chinook info pellet 12.0

post-boil 1 min 0.5 Citra info pellet 11.0
post-boil 1 min 1.0 Pacifica info pellet 6.1
post-boil 1 min 1.0 Rakau info pellet 12.0
dry hop 7 days 0.5 Citra info pellet 11.0
dry hop 7 days 2.0 Pacifica info pellet 6.1
Should I add more Centenial as a dry hop?
I was thinking about splitting the pacifica into a dry hop and a keg hop?
