Just picked up ingredients for my first AG batch w/ my new equipment the other day. I'm planning a mostly Citra IPA, although after playing around in Beersmith2, I may end up bumping this up to an IIPA. Here's the recipe as of now.
12 Lbs Pale 2-row
1 Lb Honey Malt
8 oz Crystal 40L
8 oz Cara-Pils
.5 oz Warrior 60 min
1 oz Citra 20 min
1 oz Citra 10 min
1.5 oz Citra 5 min
1.5 oz Citra 0 min
.5 oz Warrior 0 min
2-3 oz Citra DH 7 days
California Ale Yeast WLP001
With this grain bill I end up with an estimated OG of 1.066. This puts me at the high end of the American IPA range, but just under the IIPA range. With the addition of 2lbs of Honey, I can push the OG up to 1.079, up my Hop additions a bit, and come out with a Honey Citra IIPA. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I've got a day or two before I can brew this yet. My plans to empty my shed and turn it into my brew house got pushed back thanks to this relentless winter we're having here.
