Hi there guys,
I have read a previous thread on hop additions for an IPA and it was very informative. I do have one query about Citra though.
My recent batch of a total of 29L has the following for additions during a 60 minute boil.
60Min to go: 15 grams cascade, 20 grams Citra.
40 min to go: 15 grams Citra
20 Min to go: 20 grams Citra
7 Minutes to go 20 Grams Citra and flame out
Then pour the hot liquor through a strainer with another 20 grams Citra and cool down and top up.
The wort tasted pretty good at inoculation time and it smells very fruity and floral at the airlock during fermentation so i have high hopes as I am looking for a very full bodied and citrus/floral beer.
I am new to using Citra so my question is have I over done the hops do you think? and would you recommend dry hopping on top of this? I noticed some recipes do ask for a lot of Citra for American style IPA etc.
Cheers
