Threetall said:Just curious. I plugged the numbers into beersmith for the extract version, and it estimates
a starting gravity of 1.055, that's different than what you posted.
I am using a 3 gallon - 60 minute boil, 5 gallon total.
What about upping the extra light DME by a pound, and increase the other hop additions to achieve the right gravity/ibus?
Did you set it as a partial mash or extract? Either way, if you want to bump it up it should be fine. Just add a little to the first hop addition to get the ibus up, the rest should be fine.
Jamison- I have never used that yeast, so dont know much about it.
I brewed the extract version of this up on Sunday 4/1 ... only my 4th brew session!
I love the smell of those Citra hops.
I used 1.5 pkgs of the Safale 04 dry yeast rehydrated for about an hour prior to pitching.
Fermentation was exploding thru the blowoff hose in 12-14 hours
I had one bottle of the real thing so I drank that during the brewing session. Now I need to get more for comparision once this is ready. My first two brews are not anything to brag about so I'm just hoping this is good. Anything remotely close to Zombie and I will be extremely happy.
Thanks for the recipe!
Hey Players, I brewed it 2 weeks ago. Its still in the primary but tastes pretty good as is. When it gets dry hopped and carved it will only be better. I never had the original but it seems like a good one.
^^^ good to hear that. You did the extract version?
Two weeks in primary huh? Is that the norm for this beer? I read the whole thread but I failed to write down what the normal fermentation process has been. I was thinking it was more like 7 days primary then secondary for 10 days when I add the dry hops. ??
I just want a good beer. My first batch tastes like dish soap
So are most of you guys doing a FWH with Citra?
I'm concerned about using this hop early in the boil.
I still cannot understand how to FWH so I did the 60 min addition so far it tasted good. I looked up several threads but I need some one to spell it out for me

You would mash your grains, then add the hops to your boil kettle, then run your first sparge into the kettle. The hops then sit in the first runnings till your second runnings are ready. You run off the rest of your sparge, then boil as normal.
Do I spy a recipe for Pumking under that beer?
