After some advice on my new recipe.
I don't have a light coloured ale on my tap or in the cubes atm and was thinking of using up some of the bag of Citra i have.
I came up with a simple blonde ale and thought i'd add a small amount of crystal for complexity and sweetness. I don't know if this is to style or even desirable, so happy to be guided here.
This will be no chilled, so i have been adjusting my hop additions by 10 min ie; 60 min goes in at 50, 10 min at flameout and flameout addition at whirlpool.
I figured a 65C mash would make it a little drier and less malty?
