It would be helpful to know the actual alpha acid percentage of the hops, but I would probably use the Chinook for bittering and leave the amarillo for late or dryhopping. I think some amount of Chinook can be used late too, but I would be looking for the amarillo to shine.

Amarillo is 9.4% AA anf 5.7% beta, unsurr of the chinook

Leave the caramunich out of it.
1/2oz of chinook for bittering (60 minute boil; save the rest of the chinook for another brew).
2oz of amarillo for 20 minute hopstand/whirlpool.
I'm not a fan of chinook late in the boil, but I've also never had a nice, fresh packet of it.

Yeah I agree with Gnomebrewer on the chinook .5 oz @60. I'd do Amarillo 1 oz @20 then 1 oz @ 1 min

I ended up using jag75s advice. We'll see how she turns out in a few weeks!

In my Kveik blonde I used 1/2 ounce Chinook @45 because I wanted a clean bitter with a touch of pine. In an Amber I used 1/2 ounce at 45 for the same reason. Both from fresh packs.

Northern Brewer has a recipe for a Chinook IPA. It is all Chinook and is very good.

Either of the two schedules mentioned would be good. I would probably have done as the OP did just to make the day easier, and get it done sooner than waiting for a whirlpool addition. Though I have done quite a few whirlpool additions.

My first thought when reading the post was to leave the caramunich out, we think alike. At least when sober. Which isn't often.

Chinook late (20 minutes or less) with centennial works really well with brews using dark roasted malts.
