So in anticipation of some snow tomorrow and cancelled classes (fingers crossed) I wanted to use the time to brew. Still new to the game and have been doing clones. Stopped by the LHBS to shoot the sh*t tonight and made sure I had ingredients before I left. Grabbed a sack of MO and asked what he had for hops. He just got some Citra in and I jumped at it because of all the fuss i've heard about it. I've never made my own recipe from scratch, usually find a style and compare recipes out there, then pick and choose till I come up with somethin.
I have on hand the MO, about a pound of C120, C40, aromatic, pils, and for hops I got an ounce of citra, pacifica, and amarillo today but also still have .50z perle, magnum, and an ounce or two of centennial and chinook earmarked for a dry hop next week so I could use that and replace it before then. This is what I came up with so far... any feedback to the brain bill or hop schedule would be greatly appreciated.
It will get pitched on a 1056 yeast cake from a 3 week old batch I will bottle before brewing.
