Columbus Smash

[GeezyPeezy]

Hi guys

I'm considering a Columbus smash recipe.

6250kg Maris Otter mash for 90min

30g Columbus @ 60 min
20g Columbus @ 15 min
50g Columbus @ 5 min

Any advice on using Columbus hops? I've only made Cascade smashes in the past.

Finally, Any recipes that you're willing to share with me?

I once did a very pale, strong, single hop Columbus and it was fantastic. Could dig the recipe out.

Please do. I have a shedloads of it in the freezer that needs using

Is it worth ditching the bittering addition and increasing the later additions to make up the IBUs whilst increasing the flavour/aroma? That's my plan for a Summit single hop brew coming up
