It's my first time dry hopping with Citra, turned out better then I expected. Cheers!

Looks great! Which recipe did you use?

Looks nice. I hope my new regulator arrives soon so I can continue with my "Yellow IPA" It has 1.5 ounces each of Aurora and Sonnet Golding dry hop going.

Looks like my Citra IPA except my wife's Kia is red
Please let us know your recipe.

Interesting, I have not seen another member using these two hops together, I got a pound each when hops direct had a sale. Care to share your recipe.

I must have used the same discount.

This was a 4 gallon BIAB batch
OG =1.060
FG=1.010

3.97 lb Rahr 2 row
1.75 lb Vienna
1 lb Aromatic malt
1 lb Flaked corn
.25 lb red wheat malt
.75 lb cane sugar (I might have used corn sugar)

mash 148 for 90 minutes

.5 oz Magnum 60 min
1 oz Aurora 20 min
1 oz Aurora 5 min
1 oz Sonnet Golding 5 min

1 oz Aurora whirlpool after cooled a bit (no specific temperature)
1 oz Sonnet Golding whirlpool

1.5 oz Aurora Dry hop in keg
1.5 oz Sonnet Golding Dry hop in keg.

I have no idea what this will be. Just something I wanted to try.

Yeast = 1 pack Nottingham rehydrated.

The regulator just arrived, now to hook it up and get a preliminary taste.

Thanks, looking forward to tasting notes. Sorry to the OP for derail.

You can't go wrong with Citra in a dry hop for a pale. Or an IPA for that matter.

This was a BIAB that got left in primary for about 2 1/2 months due to other things happening. All the original hop flavor should have gone by the time I dry hopped so I used 3 ounces in the 4 gallon batch. Had planned on one ounce of each hop.

It is very cloudy, maybe given more time in the keg it will clear some.
At first taste, I do not like it much. I think due to the long wait. It was also 4 gallons in a 6 gallon Better Bottle. I don't get oxidized though. Just strange.

We'll see in a few more days.
