I have a cream ale recipe I really like. I also have 1/2 oz of citra hops.
I figure for the summer I would make a citra cream ale.
I am looking to add a nice, slight citra flavor.
At what point do I add the hops? 60 min?
5 min? Flameout? Dry hop?
Should I up the amount to something more than 1/2 oz?
My other thought is to drop 1# of DME . Thinking my summer beer doesn't always need to be 5.5% ABV!
Recipe is as follows:
1# Flaked Maize (Corn),
1# Pilsner Malt
3.3# Pilsen LME,
2# Pilsen DME
1 oz Cascade hop pellets (60 min)
½ oz Cascade pellets (15)
½ oz Cascade pellets (5 min)
US-05 dry yeast.
