what to dry hop big DIPA

[bg1414]

I have the following recipe. I'm debating if the dry hop looks ok or if I should substitute chinook for citra and amarillo for cascade? I want a woodsy pine presence with a fruity flavor mixed in. Thoughts?

17 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1
8.0 oz Wheat Malt, Ger (2.0 SRM) Grain 2
1 lbs Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 3
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 4
0.5 oz Apollo [19.0%] - First Wort Hops 5
1 lbs 8.0 oz Corn Sugar (Dextrose) (0.0 SRM) Grain 6
1.5 oz Apollo [19.0%] - Boil 60 min Hops 7
1.0 oz Apollo [17.0%] - Steep 30 min Hops 8
1.0 oz Cascade [5.5%] - Steep 30 min Hops 9
1.0 oz Chinook [13.0%] - Steep 30 min Hops 11
1.0 oz Simcoe [13.0%] - Steep 30 min Hops 13
1.0 oz Cascade [5.5%] - Steep 15 min Hops 10
1.0 oz Chinook [13.0%] - Steep 15 min Hops 11
1.0 oz Simcoe [13.0%] - Steep 15 min Hops 12
1.0 oz Apollo [17.0%] - Dry Hop 14 days Hops 14
1.0 oz Citra [12.0%] - Dry Hop 14 days Hops 15
1.0 oz Simcoe [13.0%] - Dry Hop 14 days Hops 16
1.0 oz Cascade [5.5%] - Dry Hop 5 days Hops 17
1.0 oz Simcoe [13.0%] - Dry Hop 5 days Hops 18

Hmmm that looks like a tasty recipe.

Substitute 1/2 oz Citra for 1/2 oz Chinook, and sub 1/2 oz Cascade for 1/2 oz Chinook. I wouldn't bother with Amarillo.

That will help with the woodsy and the pine.

1.0 oz Apollo [17.0%] - Dry Hop 14 days Hops 14
0.5 oz Citra [12.0%] - Dry Hop 14 days Hops 15
0.5 oz Chinook - DH 14 Days
1.0 oz Simcoe [13.0%] - Dry Hop 14 days Hops 16
0.5 oz Cascade [5.5%] - Dry Hop 5 days Hops 17
1.0 oz Simcoe [13.0%] - Dry Hop 5 days Hops 18
0.5 oz Chinook - DH 5 days

Please let us know how this turns out!!! I might have to try this myself. Cheers!!!

awesome, will do. I made this before but it was an extract recipe and the hop schedule was the same but citra was used instead of chinook. tasted pretty great the first time
