so it's a cubed version of a 10 apa. A presenter bought up a good point at ANHC, if you cube hop best to use it the next day, let me know how you go interesting idea

Yep.

Brewed it a few weeks ago. The keg lasted the weekend just gone. Was bloody delicious.

Was me, Old Farts Brauhaus, and my brother drinking it. Gone in two days.

Very "citra" (fruity), great bitterness, but amazingly sessionable.

Is going to be my house beer from now on.

How did you work out your bitterness, just the old 20 minute rule as rough a guide?

Yep, threw it in beersmith at boil 15mins. Comes out at 41IBU.


EDIT:
Have just put this info into the actual recipe.

How would you add the hops in if you're a chiller?

My Citra APA that I brew (did very well in the state comps the year before last I must add) uses virtually the same recipe but subs around half the base malt for Marris Otter and the Carapils for Carahell. same IBU but around 1046. Very balanced and always a winner so this recipe would fall very well in to WIN!
