Hop suggestions for American Pale Lager

Beer Recipes
1

Like many out there I have some extra time at home and am brewing more, using what I have on hand.  Basing my brew this weekend on what I have on hand:
4th generation of Imperial Harvest yeast, finishing up a pilsner now…
86% 2-Row
7% Munich
7% Honey Malt

Used this base malt recipe for a honey blonde ale last spring, enjoyed it…want to re-pitch this Augustiner yeast into this wort for a lager version…hopped with the Centennial and Simcoe I have on hand.
Suggestions for how to use these 2 hops to hop this??  Not looking for the hops to jump out and take center stage, more interested in how a German Helles would taste if West Coast hops were used.  Hoping to brew Sunday night/Monday morning.

I’m thinking .5oz Centennial 60 min
                  .5oz Centennial 15 min
                  1oz Simcoe 15 min
my calculator puts this at 42 IBU, so bit on bitter side for a Helles style, but not overpowering I wouldn’t think

I’d bitter with Simcoe rather than Centennial.

4

I’m game for that.  What would the difference be?

5

Not wasting Centennial that would be good later

6

I would say go with whatever hop you like better late.

too much sense!  :slight_smile:
