Simcoe

[Broob]

I'm doing up an ipa in the 1068 range. 60 or so IBU. It's going to be some combination of falconers flight and cascade. I have 2 oz of simcoe that I was going to use for dry hop. Do you think it would be better to use the simcoe in a steep addition or go with the dry hop as planned?

where are your other additions? amounts? recipe? To me 60 IBU in a 1.068 beer is a bit on the tame side.

Just changed it around a little. 1066 OG. 40 IBU from FWH, 10 IBU at 5 min, 2 IBU at 1 min, and about 23 IBU from a 20 min steep. Around 75 total IBU. So it's the Simcoe as a steep or as dry hop. I'm going to steep and dry hop either way just wondering where the Simcoe would be best utilize.

I made a nice dry hop IPA with 2 oz Simcoe in a double batch. It was very nice but only lightly dry hopped, so I think 2oz in a single batch would be nice. You'd get the most benefit from your 2 oz, I think, by dry hopping with it.
