Hey all. Brewing Brewdog citra IPA, but want to step it up with a dry hop of citra too. Anyone have a recommended dry hopping rate for citra? I was thinking around 66g for 23L for 3-4 days.
and then someMore.. Always more..
5g/L is a reasonable amount for an IPA IMO.Bruer said:115g? Thats 5g/L.
I cube hopped an Aussie Lager with a touch of Citra, only about a teaspoon in each cube, to give it a certain hint of "je ne sais quoi"Coodgee said:I just got my first batch of citra and brewed an IPA and APA with it. The APA was 40 grams each of Simcoe/Mosaic/Citra at 10 minutes and 50grams of same dry hop. It's a lovely fruity flavour and aroma. My IPA was 50grams of Crosby experimental hop #6 (which is described as big, dank and bold) and 20grams of galaxy at 20 minutes with 40 grams of citra at 10 minutes. It's still fermenting so not ready for a dry hop yet. But god damn they both taste and smell exactly the same - it's fruity-sweet citra all the way. So my advice would be to just go easy with the citra because it's potent shit. I think I'll just dry hop the IPA with 50 grams of the experimental hop to try to override the citra somewhat.
Me too. Although I usually brew Pales, so for an IPA I'd double those rates, especially for something with "Citra" in the name.Albainian said:I find citra an awesome dry hop and generally use in the range of 1.5 - 2.5 g/l. Personally I find this provides plenty of aroma without becoming a fruit salad.
