I wanted to make a very citrus forward IPA. I took inspiration for the continuous hopping method from Yooper's Dogfish Head 60min Clone and added Lime Aid to primary as was done by SD-SLim in Lemon-Lime Hefe Weizen. (Both amazing recipes)
Green Dragon IPA
7# Light DME
4# Pale 2-Row
1# Caramel 40L
0.50oz Lime Zest @ 5min
HOPS*
0.75oz Warrior @ 60
0.50oz Amarillo @ 50
0.25oz Sorachi @ 50
0.25oz Warriro @ 50
0.50oz Cascade @ 29
0.50oz Citra @ 29
0.50oz Citra @ 5
0.50 Cascade @ 5
0.25 Sorachi @ 5
Dry hop 0.50oz Amarillo and 0.50 Sorachi for 14 days
White Labs 0051 California Ale V
Ferment in primary for 7 days when the vigorous fermentation has stopped add 1 liter of Simply Lime-Aid to the wort. After seven days move to secondary and dry hop for 14 days. Remove hops and ferment until clear, I used gelatin to aid in clearing.
*Hop Schedule
Hops listed at 50 mins are all mixed together and are added little by little every minute from 50mins to 30 mins. Hops listed at 29mins are added all together and added little by little from 29mins-10mins.
This came out very good and hoppy. Admittedly it did not have as much of the citrus punch I was hoping for, but regardless an awesome brew. I do not yet have the ability to keg so I bottle condition. This was my third IPA and this one needed more time to condition in bottles. By about 6 weeks in bottle it was amazing. Before than it is still more than drinkable.
