Brewday tomorrow, 1500ml starter of WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast has been prepped and I'm swirling it every time I walk near it.
I think I'm in love with Centennial hops. This APA pairs Centennial with Amarillo in a medium/dry golden beer with huge hop aroma and flavour and a bread/biscuits malt profile. The malt bill is from Brewing Classic styles, but I felt I had to alter the hopping. I love an APA that slams you straight in the face with dank citrus, hop oils so this one will be hop burst to really bring out the character of 2 of my favourite hops, with a large charge of aroma hops at flameout.
