This is going to be my first recipe thrown together on my own. I was looking for something heavy in Aroma with a piney/citrus taste. This is what I tried and it is already in the secondary.
9 lbs of DME
2 oz of Chinook @ 60 min
1 oz of Simcoe @ 30 min
1 oz of Northern Brewer @ 10 min
1 oz of Crystal @ flameout
2 oz of Citra for dryhop
WLP099 High gravity yeast
I didn't do a starter and I am learning that this is almost always used. The primary went really strong for about a week and then started to mellow out. I did put a blow off tube on the primary but I didn't realize that you were supposed to put the other end of the tube in water or another substance. I didn't have anything other than air. Anyways, I was wondering what everyones thoughts on the recipe were.
Thanks, Nick
