warmer weather apa

[IsonAd]

I seem to have stockpiled a lot if higher gravity and winter style beers over the last 6 months and with the warmer weather I'm looking to brew an easy drinking pale ale with a bit of hop character. Anyone have a good recipe they'd like to share?

This is my favourite APA I've made to date, Although I scaled mine back to around 5.2% and reduced the hopping a tiny bit.

indica86: I'll try that one for sure!
So you bittered with the Citra at 60 minutes & all other hop additions at flame-out?

 

[indica86]

Yep, have done that a few times and love it.

Thanks for the recipe

Brewed this today.

No El Dorado at LHBS, so simply added more Citra.

Looking good & can't wait to taste the finished product
