Hello all,
I'm planning my second recipe (I've done mostly pre-assembled clone kits so far), which will be a light APA. I selected the hops and yeast for a citrus flavor, and to try something new to me. I wanted amarillo but it wasn't available, so the shop recommended the zythos as a substitute. I wanted to keep it on the lighter side (color wise), but in hindsight I might have gone with a darker crystal to bring the SRM up to 8 or so. I've already bought the ingredients but won't be brewing until the weekend, so I can still modify it.
Any thoughts, particularly on the hop schedule? Right now I have 2oz each of citra and zythos.
Thanks,
John
