I'm currently sipping on an a brew that I used citra hops in, and am trying to come up with some Ideas on what this hop can be used for. Since it is such a new hop to the brewing world the feild is pretty much wide open. So I came up with the Idea of a Chocolate orange brew. 3gal. Grain Bill...

Sounds good! how long do you plan on Lagering?

good Idea, no sense in ruining a perfectly good beer as it sits now. The judges will just laugh, like they did at me.:D

I gust realized that I have some year old centennial hops, about 2oz. I was thinking about eliminating the Citra from this beer altogether. These hops have been in the freezer for a year now, will they still be good to use? They still smell decent.

Yeas I have Tried this and the end result was a very oxidized brew. It was a vanilla IPA and I had bottled in 22oz. bottles and had to transfer into 12oz. I tried to carefully pour into a pitcher without creating any head and then siphon from that into the 12 oz. And then add a pinch of corn...

I want to re write this recipe into something along the lines of samuel adams dubble bock. any ideas on how I can use these ingredients minus the hops? I' just read that you should not use aroma hops for any dubble Bock. what are some good hops for this style?

What does anyone think about the lager time for a beer like this. I'm looking at drinking this beginning of March some time. That gives me 3 months in the carboy and 1 month in bottles before opening the first brew, if I brew beginning of next month. or should I wait till may and let lager for a...

It was to late to use any kind of honey malt, as this was a last minute decision on some beer that I had no bottles or space for. Right now it doesn't seem to be fermenting at all. I'm new to this, so should there be any signs or krosen. My air lock is definitley not moving. This beer has been...

it is a good beer, im sipping on some right now. But do you really think its ruined

why not? I'm trying to find a good way to get the true honey flavor to come throu in a beer. So to take 1 gal and see what will happen was worth it.

I also have 5lb of caravienne 20L would this be better that the caraMunich. I'm not looking to get too dark color for this beer and i think that this will lighten it up a bit.

yeah I'm planning on letting sit for close to a year, maybe even longer.

I'm going for mostly taste but wanted to stay true to a German Bock style Lager with my grain selection and yeast strain. My hop selection is just what I have left over. It's not in line with the style of beer but As long as it tastes good thats all I'm looking for. I know adding the Citra hops...
