Well they say that if you do it below 75c there are no IBU's but thats not true. I usually use the brewerd friend calculator where you have to put in the temp and time and it calculates it but as I said it drops off at 75c to nil so if you use that calc do it at 80c and us that or I think it was Hazlewood who posted a way of calculating it which look a good way of doing it.
I will try and find it and post it again
 
this is what he posted
The utilisation drops at lower temperatures so to work out your IBUs work out what they would have been for an equivalent boil time and then adjust down depending on your whirlpool temperature:
90C is 50%
80C is 25%
70C is 10%
60C is 5%
<60C is 2%

So in a 23 litre batch, 100g of 12%AA in a 20min hopstand at 80C will give you…

First the IBUs at 100C for 20mins
100g x 0.12 x 0.1 x 1000 / 23 = 52 IBUs

Adjust for 80C
52 x 25% = 13 IBUs
this looks reasonably accurate to me so try that and see how you go on
 
Hey folks,

For my next brew I was planning to do a citra ipa recipe. Specifically an Oakham Citra clone, if such a recipe exists?

Has anyone found a reliable recipe they have previously used they could share please?

I'm planning on making it as a 10L biab, if anyone finds that useful 😉
One of my favs that is. Keg far better than bottled as its a tad too fizzy. Id be keen to have a go at a clone. 🍻
