Something that I did recently and liked was mix up all of your hops together. Then, use 2-3 oz for bittering (60 min),2-3 oz at 15, 3-4 oz at flameout/whirlpool, and 3-4 oz for dry hopping.

I often use a blend for the whole recipe too.  But rather than just toss them together and then portion them out (what it sounds like you're suggesting)  I weigh them out in proportion for each addition and then blend.  Then you know each addition is really the same blend instead of hop potluck.

I like that name “hop potluck”. I might have to use that. This is what I was suggesting. I made a DIPA a few months ago like this and it turned out very nice.

Thanks gentlemen.
Suggestions on bittering with Chinook or should I pick up some Magnum and go for 30 IBU at 60 min?

I appreciate all the help.

I think the Chinook will do best in the boil.
IMO Citra can be a little catty if used before 10 min.

Chinook has become my go-to bittering hop, and I like it late too.

I LOVE bittering with Chinook, but ut also makes a great late addition

For all my IPAs, 100% of the bittering comes from a single, large addition either right at flameout (for my west-coast IPAs) or after cooling to 160 degrees (for my hazy IPAs, where I'm going for less bitterness). I suggest you try this.

I get the right amount of bitterness while maximizing the hop punch--which is the whole point of an IPA, yes? Which steeping temp to use depends on how much bitterness you're after. But with most of the "typical" IPA hops, I use about 1.5-2 lbs/bbl total.

For IPAs, and assuming that you're going for the biggest hop punch possible, there's no point whatsoever in anything other than a single, large hop charge at/after flameout. Sixty, 15, 10, 5, etc. min additions are useless. You'll get the bitterness, but you increasingly lose the oils. You get the best of both worlds with a single, large addition at/after flameout.

All advise considered this is what I have so far.

6gal batch estimated OG 1.076

3oz ea. Citra, Azacca and Chinook WP 200f, 15 min.
99.6 IBU - 1.304 IBU/SG

Just after high krausen dry hop with
2oz Citra
3oz ea Chinook and Azacca.

I appreciate all the feedback.

I think that looks great for a Double IPA
