Citrusy IPA

[Chudz]

Looking for suggestions on a kit or extract recipe for an IPA. I'm a big fan of the citrusy hops, low to medium fan of piney ones, and don't care for floral aromas, etc.

Oh man, I put an ounce of Amarillo in my fermenter about 30 minutes ago for dry hop. . .now reading that Amarillo recipe from the first link. . .I'm getting the kettle out! 9am Sat in my part of the world, time to brew!

I like the amarillo/simcoe combo that's in my DFH 60 minute clone IPA. It's definitely more citrusy than piney, but I think the simcoe gives it a pineyness that is really good!

That 60m clone sounds really good! I'm actually not brewing the Amarillo recipe today 'cause I don't have enough Am. on hand. I'm bittering w/Simcoe, Cascade for mid-late additions, & finishing with Amarillo.

But I've got an order coming up with Rebel - Going to pick up enough Amarillo to try the recipe above but I'll also grab enough Warrior to try your DFH 60m a try. . .So many brews, so little time, egads!

Cool, thanks for all of the suggestions.

I made Yooper's 60 minute IPA recently and it came out phenomenal. My girlfriend who "doesn't like hoppy beers" absolutely loved it and wants me to make another batch ASAP. Its the grapefruit flavor/aroma from the Amarillo that she loves so much. I think this one will be a permanent fixture in my pipeline from now on.

Easily my best beer after only 2 weeks in the bottle. It came out to be 1.4% stronger than the commercial version, and sure as hell didn't cost $12 a sixer to make. I bought a single last night to do a taste test, and I think I like my version better! Thanks for such a great recipe.

Awww, shucks. Thanks yourself.

I'm a huge fan of the big citrusy IPAs, and my experience is also that some people who don't normally like IPAs like the grapefuitiness (is that a word?) of an amarillo IPA.

I have several other IPAs that I like, like an all-centennial, a mostly-cascade, etc, but the amarillo hops seem to be the ones with the freshest citrusy taste.

I would also recommend Yooper's 60 minute IPA. You won't be dissapointed. Actually drinking one right now!

Good stuff, Yoop!
