Help with hop schedule.

Time to clean out the freezer.
I have all cone hops.
6oz ea Azacca and Citra
8 oz of Chinook.

Thinking DIPA recipe.

Suggestions on hop schedule please and thank you.

Something that I did recently and liked was mix up all of your hops together. Then, use 2-3 oz for bittering (60 min),2-3 oz at 15, 3-4 oz at flameout/whirlpool, and 3-4 oz for dry hopping.

I often use a blend for the whole recipe too.  But rather than just toss them together and then portion them out (what it sounds like you’re suggesting)  I weigh them out in proportion for each addition and then blend.  Then you know each addition is really the same blend instead of hop potluck.

I like that name “hop potluck”. I might have to use that. This is what I was suggesting. I made a DIPA a few months ago like this and it turned out very nice.

Thanks gentlemen.
Suggestions on bittering with Chinook or should I pick up some Magnum and go for 30 IBU at 60 min?

I appreciate all the help.

I would use what you have.

I think the Chinook will do best in the boil.
IMO Citra can be a little catty if used before 10 min.

Chinook has become my go-to bittering hop, and I like it late too.

I LOVE bittering with Chinook, but ut also makes a great late addition

For all my IPAs, 100% of the bittering comes from a single, large addition either right at flameout (for my west-coast IPAs) or after cooling to 160 degrees (for my hazy IPAs, where I’m going for less bitterness). I suggest you try this.

I get the right amount of bitterness while maximizing the hop punch–which is the whole point of an IPA, yes? Which steeping temp to use depends on how much bitterness you’re after. But with most of the “typical” IPA hops, I use about 1.5-2 lbs/bbl total.

For IPAs, and assuming that you’re going for the biggest hop punch possible, there’s no point whatsoever in anything other than a single, large hop charge at/after flameout. Sixty, 15, 10, 5, etc. min additions are useless. You’ll get the bitterness, but you increasingly lose the oils. You get the best of both worlds with a single, large addition at/after flameout.

All advise considered this is what I have so far.

6gal batch estimated OG 1.076

3oz ea. Citra, Azacca and Chinook WP 200f, 15 min.
99.6 IBU - 1.304 IBU/SG

Just after high krausen dry hop with
2oz Citra
3oz ea Chinook and Azacca.

I appreciate all the feedback.

I think that looks great for a Double IPA

Thank you sir.
