Almost finished! - Citra Smash started at 0430am

[mitch]

Todays brew day was the first since before xmas. Back to basics. A simple smash which is almost ready to go into the fermenter.

Early start thanks to economy 7 tariff.

I've called it "Revolution" in contempt of todays proceedings.

What's the consensus on adding boiling water to the boil to bring the OG down? I was following a recipe, messed up the water amounts so added 3 ltrs during the boil. Its now pretty much where it should be at 20 degrees.

Tomorrow im doing a Juicy NEIPA - another recipie. Another early start.

Share your NEIPA recipe pls? I have a boat load of hops, Cascade, Citra, Amarillo, Nelson Sauvignon, plus some grains left over from a previous brew so i will almost definitely need to buy more grains. But, based on if you share will determine what grains i buy.

Don't think there is any issue adding boiling water to the boil.

Brilliant and thanks. I actually have some of those grains (extra light & wheat malts) so may just buy something like a caramel or a Maris otter to make up the grain bill. I normally do a 30 litre batch and hope to end up filling a 19ltr corny so will adapt your recipe accordingly mate.
I’ve got Verdant and Kviek yeasts but will go with the verdant.

I’ll load it all into Brewfather later and see how that goes but I’m looking at next weekend to get the brew done. Good luck with yours and thanks for sharing.
