I am easing my wife into the world of hoppy beers and can sometimes entice her with some fruity beers. Has anyone tried racking this over some fresh strawberries? I am thinking the citra and strawberries would blend well and want to try it with half the batch. Let me know if anyone has some thoughts on this.

Thanks!
 
I made this IPA and it turned out beautifully. I have a lot of friends who don't like IPAs but loved this one.
 
I would to make this recipe, but am not set up for all grain.
How can I do as an extract?
 
I'm going to use 1 lb of honey malt for the five gal. After splitting (2.5/2.5) I'll add 1/2 lb of actually honey when I rack to secondary.


Primary: None
Secondary: None
Bottled: Maple Bacon Smoked Red Ale
On Deck: maybe a good IPA...?

I'm at work so I can't give you exact substitutions but sub pale ale malt out for DME and then just steep the caramunich and honey malt.
 
I made this recipe and it came out really great, I think I will use it as a base for some other beers, using the same grain bill and hop schedule, but substituting the hops.

Actually yesterday I made one, switched Citra with Amarillo, will see how it works out.
 
Improvising... I made this using 48 cans of Heineken N/A beer. I'm in a geographical location that doesn't allow alcohol. 48 x 12 oz cans = 4.5 Gal. I used the same hop schedule just didn't steep any grains.

At week 2 it smelled like piss. At week 4 it was much better. I bottled at week 7.

In any case, very drinkable session beer.
