Shoot for a pH of 5.2-5.6, however let your sample get down to room temp before testing.

I say go for it! I added Citra in the past and loved it while my non-IPA drinking friends preferred the original recipe. If it sounds good to you give it a shot, you're the one that has to drink it!

DFH 90 is an imperial IPA, this is pale ale... Not even close to the same. I like DFH 90 but I can see why some might not enjoy it, this will be closer to a Sierra Nevada style pale ale.

I just brewed this on 5/11/13 and used S-04, I was about use use 1056 (which has become my go to yeast) but the guy at the home brew store was raving about 04... I hope it turns out good.

My HBS accidentally milled and combined all my grain before I could toast it. So I just pulled out 2 lbs of grain from the bag and toasted it. Beer turned out great! Another option would be to replace those 2 lbs with Vienna.

I added Citra to the dry hop, really gives it a grapefruit aroma.

I decides to give this a try as my first AG, ended up with a 120 min boil due to my 8 gallon pot. OG of 1066 but it smelled awesome and tasted great. After 10 days in fermenter I went to rack and found this nasty thing floating on top... Yeast is US-05 and gravity reading I took registered...
