A friend is about to brew his first batch. He's wanting to brew a mildly hoppy American Pale Ale. Any suggestions on a can't fail recipe? Looking for a hint of citris in the flavor and aroma as well.
I'm working on my first original creation. This weekend I'll be transferring my batch to the secondary fermentor. I've got an ounce of Amarillo and Citra to dry hop with. Here's my question. How long should I dry hop? I've been told 3-5 days, I've been told 5-7 days, and 7-9 days. What are...

I'm fairly new to brewing. I'm on my third batch and am using 2 hops that are new to me. I'm making an APA using Amarillo and citra hops. Does anyone have experince with the combination of those two and how did it turn out? Here's my hop schedule
60 min 1oz Amarillo
18 min 1oz Amarillo...
