Hey guys - I'm going to be doing an extract Citra IPA in about a week and I wanted to post my recipe to see what you guys thought about it. Its the first recipe that I've made on my own so I really would appreciate the help.
2 lbs 40L caramel/crystal (steeping)
6.3 lbs Northern Brewer Super structer Malt blend for IPA
2 lbs Briess golden light DME
1 oz Warrior - 60 min
1 oz Citra - 15 min
1 oz Citra - 2 min
2 oz Citra - dry hop for 1 week
Wyeast 1217-PC West coast IPA yeast with 2 step starter
I will be doing a full boil.
I hear that Citra has some off flavors when used for bittering, like cat pee (yum!), so I thought I'd try Warrior instead. I also have an extra ounce of Citra on my hands so if you think I'd need to add more let me know. Using brewtoad.com its telling me that my OG will be right around 1.073 with 67 IBU's.
I appreciate the feedback guys! Cheers!
