Tasting Notes
Light and mild with grapefruit citrus taste...a quaffer for sure!
This has been a hit this summer with family and friends. I've done it only BIAB to minimize brew time. Traditional 3 vessel should produce similar results. 2 week secondary was done for clearing more than anything. Kegged 3 weeks from brewing. Was a bit green off the keg until week 4.5-5 (weeks measured from brew day). Disappeared quickly after that.


4.5 lb Maris Otter Pale (UK)
3.5 lb 2-Row (US)
0.5 lb Caramel/Crystal 10L (US)
0.25 lb Carapils (Dextrine Malt) (US)

BIAB-mash at 152 F for 60 min

Boil-60 min

0.5 oz Centennial at 60 min
1.0 oz Cascade at 30 min
1.0 oz Citra at 0 min/flameout.

Transferred onto a Nottingham yeast cake from a Centennial Blonde (biermuncher's). Took off with a rolling bubble within four hours.

Doing a double batch this weekend, I might split the batch and double the citra at flameout for half of it.
