This is going to be my first brew that won't be from a kit so I need some help with the recipe.
I was able to get 7 ounces of citra (5 pellets, 2 leaf). I'm definitely looking to make this nice and hoppy, but I still want the belgian yeast ethers to come through.
As far as the ABV goes I don't want anything more than 8.0% if it's going to be an IPA (it probably will).
Here's my actual questions:
1. How should I schedule my hops? (I do have a carboy that I can use to dry hop)
2. What should I use for my malt extract, and steeping grains?
3. What do you guys thing about adding honey or candi sugar to this?
4. What yeast should I use?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
