The extract version of this is pretty good. Tried it with my nephew as his first brew session, and it turned out fabulous. The other BM recipe you might try is the Sterling Gold. A really simple...

This has been my mode of operation during my previous two brew days. While the mash is going on my AG batch, I knock out this recipe. Great recipe. Easy to time it such that this is cooling during...

Wow! That works out to about a quarter a bottle, if my math is correct. Can't beat that. I've never really done the math on it before. I always assumed it was costing a little less than buying...

Agreed. Hadn't thought of that. Even with a late addition, the amount you would have to add to get any appreciable flavor would probably over-bitter this beer. Just better off adding the zest. ...

If you are looking for a slight hint of lemon, you might try hopping with Sorachi Ace. It's supposed to have a lemon zest quality to it. I've never used it, but I'm planning on trying it in a...

Agree with Fly. Only difference is I usually pressurize, then purge to remove any air from the keg before pressurizing and letting it sit. Probably just paranoid...but I do it anyways.

Looks good. Although you adjusted the amounts, I'm curious to see how the higher %aa and more pronounced flavor profile on the Citra will come through. Keep us posted. I think I might try a 2.5...

I've been thinking of trying the same. Post the recipe you decide on when you give it a try (if you don't mind, of course). I would like to see what you come up with.

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood. Are you using whole leaf or fresh(wet) hops? If just whole leaf, use as normal. If wet, you need to account for the water. Regardless, good luck.
