Cascade citra apollo simcoe columbus ipa help

[benzski]

I have a grain bill but need help building a hop schedule.
11.5 lbs 2 row
1 lb Munich
3/4 lb crystal 60

I have a 7 or 8 ounces of each hop just don't know how to put it all together.

With my IPA's I've been very happy with an ounce at 60 then an ounce at 20, 10, 5 and 0 plus 3 oz dry hopped.

I usually do a FWH, 15, 10, 5, and flameout with a few oz for dry hops. What ibu are you looking to be around? That's really going to dictate your hop schedule.

Probably around a 60 IBU. Is there a certain hop to start with and just mix up the rest or keep the late additions the same and dry hop with a diff hop

I'd go with .5 oz of the Columbus at 60min. Then .5oz of each Cascade and Citra (so total of 1 ounce) at 20/15/10/5/0 with 3oz of Simcoe for 7 days in a dry hop. I have made an IPA with a similar grain bill and the IBU are upper 80s with a full ounce of Columbus FWH. I use Amarillo with the Cascade instead of Citra, but was actually going to change it up next time and give Citra a go.

Really, though, it depends on what you like. I'm a fan of All Day IPA and Hopslam so that is want influenced my schedule. Research the beers you like and experiment a little. That's the fun, right?
