What to brew next

(1/3) > >>

erockrph:
Now that I've completed my hops stockpile for the year I need to start using them. I've come up with a bunch of recipes that in the end will use each of the hop varieties I picked up this year. As is the usual, when I'm working on too many recipes at once I have a hard time choosing which to brew first. Here are my options:

HopfenHell - Starting with a Helles Bock as the base beer, but hopbursted & dry-hopped with Cascade, Centennial, Amarillo and Citra

Dr. Dankenpine's Rye IPA - a dank & piny Rye IPA with Mosaic, Simcoe, Chinook, Apollo, Columbus & Summit

Düsseldorf "IPA" - Basically a big Alt using the German hops I have: Polaris, Smaragd and Herkules

Black Kiwi - A black IPA using my NZ hops - Rakau, Motueka and Nelson Sauvin

I'm leaning toward either the Alt or the Helles Bock since my basement is holding a nice steady 60F right now in the coolest corner. What would you brew?

firedog23:
As Good as the Black Kiwi sounds, use your basement while the temperature is where you want it. Dusseldorf for me.

Maybe a little of topic, but what the hell does a "dank" beer taste like?  ???

Ever been to a Phish concert?

I use dank in reference to resinous, pungent, cannabis type flavors. Good Columbus has loads of this.

I voted for the Alt because I'd love to hear more abut the hops you are using in it. I've also just been having a craving for good German hoppiness lately. They all look good though, so I hope the plan is to brew all of them!
