Bravo+Apollo=Citra? - Its something I heard Stan Hieronymus say on a Brewery Network podcast, so thought I'd give it a go and ordered some Bravo to go with the Apollo I already had. If its any good I'll maybe enter it into the Northern Craft Brewers & Saltaire Brewery Competition.
Thats experiment No.1, experiment No.2 was for SimpleOne on JBK who wanted 5 beers marking for a hopping experiment he's conducting, this second experiment also involved Dave @broadfordbrewer who came over to eat our food and drink our beer... and most welcome he was too.

Lager Malt - 45%
Wheat Malt - 33%
Munich Type I (Weyermann) - 15%

Magnum - 12.7 % @ 60 mins - 25g (FWH)
Magnum - 12.7 % @ 30 mins - 25g

Alcohol Content: 5.5% ABV

The wort was certainly smelling very good, hope the yeast works its magic and makes it taste like Citra, in any case the Bravo hops were smelling good, Apollo just smell like Onions :)
Did a 2.5 Litre Liquorback to get OG 1055, and less than 1 Litre short on predicted brew length.
