Depends on what you are making.

An ipa.....
5kg Maris otter
400g crystal malt
250g carapils
Using American ale yeast just want to know good hop combination and the hop schedule please

For an American IPA bitter with magnum and cascade for flavour/aroma for an English IPA bitter with Target or northern brewer (30g ish depending on the alpha and how bitter you want it) and loads of EKG for flavour/aroma (30g at 15, 5 and 0 min). Is a rough idea of what would work well.

I had the Saltaire double IPA last night, hopped with simcoe and galaxy and that was delicious...

J Lime are a new one on me, are they an experimental variety?

 

[Brew_DD2]

Bitter - Magnum
Late hops - Cascade and Galaxy
Dry hop - Galaxy

Or you could try to mix it up. Victory, Kernel and Cloudwater amongst others have made some lovely IPAs that have successfully blended noble and newer varieties of hops.

Yeah is an experimental hop lime and fruity flavours.. went with that hop schedule I did up there so hopefully it comes out well any suggestions on dry hopping it

When combining hops you need to consider how you are going to utilise them too. Most flavour descriptions don't describe how those flavour and aroma notes are best achieved.

Different addition times can yield significantly different flavours, some of which may not be desireable.

Take Topaz for example:

Used early in the boil it contributes earthy notes. When used later on, at flameout or as a whirlpool hop, it yields tropical fruit flavours.

Then when used as a dry hop it can lend a resinous or grassy flavour.

So take some time to research your hops and figure out what flavours they add and when. Then you can pair it so that the addition of another hop will complement the flavours that you expect to get from your given additions.

The only hop I have used there is cascade but I recon it will make a decent IPA. You could dry hop with 10-30g each of all the aroma hops
