Hello all
I've done Ross's Nelson Savin Summer Ale and it was a beauty. I now want to try some citra hops. Never having used or even tasted them I was looking for some input on the brew. This is the same recipe but substituting NS for Citra. Should I go more/less or stay the same with the same schedule? And while I'm at it, can someone give me a one fruit answer - what does citra mostly taste like ????
any comments welcomed
Cheers
