Had a delivery yesterday and as I felt a bit crappy today thought I'd hide in the kitchen and get a brew on in my 19l stockpot. I'd primarily used Citra for dry-hopping kits so thought I would do a Citra only brew.
Grain bill.
2.5kg Maris Otter
100g Crystal
50g Caramalt
Hops
5g Citra @ 90
5g Citra @ 60
8g Citra @ 30
10g Citra @ 10
Total ibus calculated as 48, so not bonkers, but should be refreshing enough.
140 (doing other stuff as well) minute mash @ 67â to start which dropped to 66â.
Did what seemed like an effective dunk sparge with 5l 80â water.
Ended up with 15 litres at 1.050 which I'm very happy with, probably all down to a healthy sparge.
Will prob add an amount of Citra as dry hop later in the ferment. Currently chilling down and will pitch US-05 when it's down to 25â.
Cheers
