I brewed a kit from Morebeer with all citra hops and it turned out really good. So I found this one and am going to give it a try. I think the grain bill on this one is a bit different than the Morebeer one, so I want to see what the taste difference is. Here is the one I found:
"Overhang IPA"
Mash temp 150 for 60 mins
Boil time 60 mins
Est PreBoil Gravity 1.052
Est OG 1.055
Est FG 1.011
Est ABV 6.2%
Grain bill:
11lb 2 row
1lb Munich
8oz Carapils
8oz Crystal 20
8oz Melaniodin
4oz Honey malt
Hops all Citra Pellets 11 to 13AA
.7 ounces at 60
1.2oz at 15, 10, 5, 0
2.65oz at either dry hop after fermentation for 4 or 5 days or whirlpool when wort reaches 135
Yeast Bry97 (recipe call for Lutra, but as I have read my ferm temps don't get high enough to justify the extra money, and I have Bry97 on hand)
My recipe says to transfer to keg after 5 to 6 days, but that seems very fast. Might leave it in the fermenter another week or so.
This sure seems like a lot of Citra hops but based on Brewfather the IBU is at 69 or so. I have to go look back at some other recipes, but it seems some of my others have been higher.
Any input on this recipe? I know everyone has an opinion, but I am thinking of giving it a go. Wondering if a 60 minute addition of Mosiac or Chinook or something would bring a bit more to the party? Thoughts?
Thanks for reading. RR
