What’s your favorite house, clone, east coast, west coast, midwest, anywhere  American APA and/or IPA hop schedule.

Personally I really like Centennial/Cascade combos. I use this combo often in my IPA’s.  8)

One hopping schedule I’ve found I really like is FWH of an ounce of Columbus at 60-90minutes, then at 10 minutes left add 1.25oz to 1.5oz of Cascade/Centennial, and the same at 5 minutes left.  Kind of a hop bursting thing.

EDIT: What is CTZ?

3

It’s Columbus/Tomahawk/Zeus as they’re all the same hop strain.

4

Columbus-Tomahawk-Zeus

5

Hopburst with a 4:2:1 blend of Amarillo, Simcoe, and Centennial, then a big Amarillo dry hop.

6

I have two. For my IPA I like 1 oz of Columbus at 60, 15, 1 and dry hop.

For APA I like 1 oz Centennial at 60 and 15 and I use 1/2 oz Cascade and 1/2 oz Amarillo at 1 and dry hop.

Mine is all CTZ and Centennial with a but of Magnum at bittering - like this (10 gallons)

1oz Magnum (14) @ 60
1oz Columbus (14) @ 20
2 oz Columbus (14) @ 10
2 oz Centennial (10.5) @ 10
2 oz Columbus @ 2
2 oz Centennial @ 2
