I've always loved Chinook. At least I think I love it. Oddly enough, I've never done a single hop brew using only Chinook. It's always been Chinook with a hint of this, or that.
I decided it was time to do a brew with only Chinook.
A short description would define it as this:
Half ounce Chinook at 90
Half ounce Chinook at 45
One whole ounce of Chinook at 5
Malts and stuff? Ok:
10 lb 2-row
1 lb red wheat
2 lb CaraRed
0.5 lb Crystal 120L
1.5 lb Amber candy sugar
WLP090 pitched at 62F
The rest is up to God.
What will this produce? I have no idea, but I expect to drink it. All of it.
I didn't want it to be a bitter bomb, thus I was light on the Chinook in the boil. This isn't an IPA. But I wanted to get a sense of Chinook with this ale.
I'm thinking about dry hopping with Chinook too. But I'm not decided on that yet at this time.
There it is in a nutshell.
OG: 1.085
Color: Deep amber red
