and anybody else.

I'd @ frydogboobs, but he wouldn't read past the first hop choice.

When I get home ill look at some of my combos.

Why is Centanal not on the list?

I really love citra. But all others are solid, what are you in the mood for? What's the cheapest one?

price is irrelevant, i already have them.

Then use them all. I don't see any crosses that would be nasty in the list. Just mix them and slowly add them. Save some for dry hopping.

My all Columbus IPA goes like this:
0.25 - 20
3.0 - 0

Next time I will throw more in at 10 and 5

Summertime IPA:
0.75 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop 6 5.5 IBUs
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 5.0 min Hop 7 4.0 IBUs
2.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 0.0 min Hop 8 0.0 IBUs

Well I love some citra. But Columbus and cascades go really well together. I brew an all Columbus ipa that is delicious.

sounds good. i'm not really familiar with columbus yet. would it be better used more towards 15 minutes or closer to flameout?

i plan on only doing a 30 minute boil on this beer, as i really like going with all late additions on apas and ipas.

I might add a little cascade at 30 and then a bunch of Columbus starting at like 15/10/5/0 mad flavor without all the bitterness.

ok, so i'm thinkin:

3/4 oz cascade @ 20 or so,
then an ounce of columbus @
10, 5, and 0, or whatever amounts get me the ibu's i need.

(stumbles drunk into a dark room)
Oh, sorry guys, I'm in the wrong place.
(shuts door)

I like this a lot. Do it!

silly gingers.

colubus for bitter, citra for flavor.
Cascade for dry hop.

The other ones are crappy flavor hops.

wrong. ahtanum and calypso are good for flavor, citra is a better dry hop than cascade, and you smell like a forest animal so what do you know anyway?

so many things are wrong in there, i won't even touch it.
Also, aren't your citra hops nearly 2 years old now. factor that in smart guy.

my programming does not allow for mistakes. and they are old, but i dry hopped with them this summer and they still had a great deal of flavor in that capacity, so :P

I've read a lot more and brewed a IIPA and an IPA recently where I added a 60 min, then the rest at the end at flameout, two whirlpool additions and one or two dry hop additions. Tons of aroma and flavor. I'd suggest just that with whatever hops you choose, add enough bitter and the rest at the end of boil and beyond.

yup, that's pretty much my go to technique too.
