So, I promised a homebrewer I would brew his recipe when he won a competition we had hosted. Upon scaling up his recipe, I've found I need to work a miracle! It calls for nearly 2 1/2 pounds per BBL dry hop with Simcoe!! First off, Simcoe is impossible to find. Secondly even if I were able to create a hop blend to substitute, that is a TON of hops!! Beside the normal dry hop before cooling and rouse the hops idea, anybody out there have any tricks to really boost hop character and really utilize the most of these hops so that I might reduce the quantity? Maybe a dry hop and a randalizer? Anybody have suggestions on types of hops to use to substitute for Simcoe's aroma? (There is a thread on this forum already about subs for Simcoe, but it focuses more on hot applications)
Any help you can give me would be appreciated. I need to get this size 14 brewer's boot out of my mouth! Thanks and Cheers!
