Its hot as hell in North texas right now and I'm wanting to brew a nice citrusy APA. This is my first crack at building an APA recipe and my first time to brew this kind of beer. Here is what I've come up with so far
5.5 lbs Pale 2 row
3 lbs Maris Otter
2 lbs Munich
8 oz crystal 60
8 oz carapils
.5 oz nugget FWH
.5 oz citra @15 min
.5 oz mosaic @ 5 min
.5 oz citra @ 1 min
.5 oz mosaic @ 1 min
Dry hop 5 days with .5 oz citra and .5 oz mosaic
This is what Beersmith is giving me
Estimated OG 1.053
Estimated IBU 41
I Love deschutes fresh squeezed IPA and I've read they bitter with nugget and use mosaic and citra the rest of the way. I just want to tone down the IBU's a little bit to make it more of an APA instead of an IPA.
Thanks for the input
