    Greg hughes single hop pale ale

    What is you favorite hop schedule, ie quantity and timings. I would love to know the perfect quantities and times to get the best from my chosen hop. I don't tend to use bittering hops as I seem to get enough from late additions, whirlpool and dry hop.

    Cold ipa?
