I've been waiting for the LHBS to get a new supply of Citra in, they finally have so I'm planning on a heavily hopped pale (this might not even be that heavily hopped), combining the citra with some cascade I already have in stock after reading that they combine nicely; and using some millennium for bittering as I have that in stock for bittering purposes.
I've used 60L crsytal for all my brews to about 8% so far and want to drop it for this to see if I can have a drier brew, I also want to try Maris otter as the bulk of the grain just for the sake of it really, I am open to changing the oats to wheat malt if it seems more appropriate, or adding it into the bill aswell. I think I just wanted to use some oats that I bought for the craic at woollies.
I already have the Vienna malt, and some roasted barley but doubt it would go in this.
so my thinking is as follows.
Cascading citra pale ale.
Batch size 19L.
Est. OG 1.054
Est. FG. 1.013
Calc. IBU. 39.1
Calc. ABV%. 5.3%
86% (4kg) maris otter
10.8% (500g) vienna malt
3.2% (150g) rolled oats
10g Millenium 13.5%, 60mins, 21.5 IBU
10g Citra 13.1%, 20mins, 7.1 IBU
10g Cascade 6.8%, 20mins, 3.7 IBU
10g Citra 13.1%, 10mins, 4.5 IBU
10g Cascade 6.8%, 10 mins, 2.4 IBU
10g Citra 13.1%, 0mins
