Hello,
Now, I know that everyone has their own tastes, however I would like some thoughts on combining Cascade and Chinook hops.
I have both in stock, plus 4.5kg or thereabouts of pale malt, and plan to do a simple SMaTH 40pint AG brew this weekend. I'm looking for not too strong, not too bitter, but plenty of aroma. An ale for summer BBQs and long lazy evenings.
My thoughts for the hop schedule are as follows :
15g of each 60 mins.
25g of each 0 mins
50g of Chinook, dry hopped.
My Cascade are pellet and my Chinook are leaf.
In BeerSmith2 this comes out at about 30 IBUs, so right where I want it, however do these hops work well together, and is there anything I should be aware of or watch out for?
Thanks!
