I tested the gravity of the beers, and they were all set to bottle.
I also taste a sample of each, and, from those, I think the Simcoe one may be kind of harsh. Obviously I'll have to wait another week or two while they condition and carbonate, but It looks like the Centennial at 60 minutes, Cascade at 10, and Columbus at flameout will be the best of the two. Then I'll compare them to the Cascade at 15 minute beer, and decide on the best one.
From there, I have to start trying malts. This won't happen until I've decided on the definite hop schedule, but it's coming soon!
I'm currently doing a little research on the different malt recipes for some of my current favorite beers. Looks like I'll start with a base of American 2 Row Brewers Malt, and some type of Crystal Malt. Usually these are used in a 90/10 or so ratio. I'll give that a try first.
