I'm into hoppy taste but not crazy bitterness. I just put together an AG 5 gallon recipe in Beersmith with the objective of getting a lot of hop with IBU of 55-60. Hops will be equal parts Amarillo (9.3%) and Centennial (10.3%). In order to get all the late hops without adding a bunch of IBU, my schedule calls for no hop additions until 25 minutes left in the boil (60 minute boil).
In all, 10 oz of hop pellets will go into this (with IBU of only 55-60). This seems like a lot to me.
2 oz will be added when the wort is being cooled (at 160 degrees for 30 minutes) and 2 oz as a 5 day dry hop.
Other 6 oz:
.5 at 25 min
1.5 at 20 min
2 oz at 15 min
1 oz at 10 min
1 oz at 5 min
Am I going to get the kind of hop flavor I'm looking for? Any tips in addition to, instead of, this plan?
ABV = 7.5% +/- on this beer.
