Citra SMASH

Ok Ill kick things off. To me this hop is all fruit salad and pineapple, similar to galaxy and some resemblance to simcoe. Over all Im not very impressed and the bitterness is soft which makes me thinking it wont be able to stand up on its own, it will need blending with a more aggressive C...

Stuster seems to be away so Ill get this thread started. I couldnt find a lot of info considering how new Citra is but I managed to steal the quote below from a Morebeer thread. If you find any other technical data please add it below otherwise share your experience. So what can you tell us...

Yep... and this one may sill be ruined :( found a small burnt patch on the base of the kettle.

No worries, I should be at the next meeting and have a few new beers to bring along.

Nursed this one through the brewing process and into the fermenter only find a 50c sized burnt patch on the base on the kettle... again :( Couldnt smell anything burning through the boil or taste/smell anything once in the fermenter so Ill let it ferment out and see how she goes. Eleanor Wheat...

Ended up with an eff of 63.5% (26L @ 1.086 into the kettle) so a little better than expected :)

I tried this method a while back for a wheat wine (batch #100) which never made it to the fermenter so Im giving it another go. The plans is to; - Mash half as normal and drain into the kettle. - Add the rest of HLT water as sparge and drain into HLT. - Empty MLT spent grain and refill with...

Most awesome Adam :D

Hey Pete, are you using a pressurised filler or just pouring the beer into a bottle with the bronco?

To make it even simpler I would not adjust the pressure release but instead just leave it on the bottle filling release setting. To quickly purge the bottle with co2 just open the co2 fully and not seal the bottle with the bung for a couple of seconds. As TB said you can fill warm bottles...

Check out http://morebeer.com/learn_vids/vids_cpfiller And use it at a higher pressure than the beers carbonation pressure, this will help to minimise foaming.

YES THIS BEER IS AWESOME... AND I AM MEANING TO SHOUT! Ran into it at LC Dinning Hall in Melborne and it blew me away. Not only is it now at the top of my pale ale list with Alpha running a second :o its the best commercial beer Ive had since... well I can remember when :D

Pretty sure CB has IsoHop... Im still rinsing it from my mouth :P No experience here but I wouldnt say no to using them if a batch didnt turn out how you wanted it.

Hey HD, Check out the EisBock link in my sig for some more details on my Eis. In short I pushed the fermenter up against the fridge element and left the fridge running for about 2 days straight. Ill bring a bottle to the next meeting :D

Who out there has a Wave account and have you been building any brewing Robots/Gadgets? Ive made a few useless Robots to see how its done but the lack of documentation has made it hard for me to make anything useful. And just for kicks I turned my RA nomograph into a Gadget. Its smaller and...

Oxygen pickup... yummers :huh: Eising is cheating a little.... might have to chuck a bottle in the -70C fridge at work and see what I end up with. And yes it would be interesting to try.

Nice simple brew today, hit all my numbers :) Although batch 100 a few weeks ago went like ****, another wheat wine that started to burn with 20 min to go on the boil :( 3rd time this has happen with an +80% wheat beer. Im thinking a lot more particulate matter gets through the sparge and...

I believe this is called the Angry Dragon :D Get well soon, and does this mean I havent missed the brew day?

How was the first day of judging?
