So I plan on making a big brutal west coast IPA, sort of a mix between Ballast Point's Big Eye and Heretic's Evil Cousin, but I need help deciding on a proper hop schedule.
Here is my grain bill (also subject to change):
8 lb pale malt extract (liquid)
3 lb 2-row
0.5 lb 10L crystal
0.25 carapils
0.25 victory
The strains of Hops I want to use are Columbus, Centennial, Apollo, and Cascade. The main flavors I'm going for are grapefruit, pine, and big resiny floral/herbal dankness (see the two aforementioned inspiration beers). I want big IBUs, enough to fill your palate, with a bit of a flavor spectrum too. I'd really like some help with amounts and scheduling, give me your expert knowledge!
