Tomorrow is brewday and I'm brewing a nice hoppy APA, something I can drink more or less every day when I get home from work. Plus it was a great excuse to try something new with the some new 2009 harvest leaf hops I got from freshops.com, Amarillo, Simcoe and Citra. A new hop that is similar in some ways to Simcoe but with a different flavor profile.
The inspiration for this APA came from Three Floyds Alpha King and Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA, the latter is the only commercial beer currently featuring Citra hops that I know about. You can read all about it in last months BYO.
Heres the runsheet for tomorrow. I'll take some pictures and post them later
