Just put together a boarder line apa/ipa recipe with a 50/50 duo of galaxy and citra. I wanted to keep the IBU's between 50-60. I decided to use amarillo for first wort addition, because I was using it before I made some changes and leaving it as the bittering seemed to keep my IBU's where I want them.
The idea is to get something with a crisp bitterness that won't punch you in the face. Something very crushable. For flavor and aroma I am hoping to get a nice citrusy, tropical fruity flavor/aroma that is a little juicy with slight carmel/biscuity malt flavor creeping in the background. I added some sweet orange peel and coriander, which I assume will get overpowered by the hops, but hopefully ad some complexity, and give it a little something extra. Hopefully will be able to brew it up soon with all the crazyness going on, but wanted to get some thought and opinions before I did.
Grain Bill:
9.5 Lbs - Pale 2 Row
1.75 Lbs - Munich (6.5L)
.25 Lbs - Crystal (60L)
.75 oz - Amarillo (First Wort)

1 oz - Citra (Hop stand at 175 for 30 min)
1 oz - Galaxy (Hop stand at 175 for 30 min)
1 oz - Citra (Dry Hop 3 days into fermentation and leave until complete)
