That sounds like a great Summer smooth drinking brew. I would consider adding more late citra and some Pacific Jade toward the end for a bigger flavor. Late Pacific Jade can add interesting flavors to the Citra.

at flameout, or at 5 min? maybe up to .75oz citra and add .25 pacific jade at the 5 min?

At 5 and at whirlpool down to 180F. Your proportions seem good. With your malt bill it seems like a great brew.

I already have all the ingredients so I'm going to make it to this recipe this time. The citra at 0 minutes will stay in until it's almost cooled to pitching temp. I don't whirlpool with my immersion chiller. I'm debating on dry hopping this with 2 oz. of citra but I may just make it to this recipe for the first try. I'm really looking forward to trying this, just need to find time amid all of the honey-do's I've got on my list to get it brewed.

Please let me know how it turns out for you as well as any alterations you make, this is my first self made recipe and am very anxious to hear of others results too!!:rockin:

I will post an update after I brew, bottle, condition and sample. Even if I brewed it this weekend it will still be around around mid-July before I get to try it. So stay tuned...

Was wondering if you ever got this all finished up and tasted?
