I am developing an Amarillo/ Simcoe IPA for a camping trip this September. I am looking for something that is going to be crazy citrusy on the aroma and flavor, but not melt your face off with tremendous IBUs.
This "problem" is also going to be accentuated by the fact that the beer has to be ready by the middle of Sept. So its going to be young... IE more bitter out of the bottle.
I have 6 oz Amarillo and 6 oz of Simcoe to work with
This is what I have, but the IBUs are still a little on the high end for what I want. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. As it stands the IBUs are 115
