2 brews being done tomorrow.

25L of Citra Ale, LCPA grain bill with Cascade for bittering and Citra at 15mins and flame out. 30 IBU, US-05

36L of Citra Lager, 90% Pils, 7% Carahell and 3% Acid. Citra hops all the way. 25 IBU, Danish Lager.

A mate gave me 90g of Citra some time ago so it is time I used it. Timely as well, the kegator is almost empty.

Think I'd like to see one of your brewdays. You seem to have it down pat and streamlined.
I think you may be putting the preparation time to a previous day and the cleanup time to the day after? :p But hey that is valid.

Yup - lots. I also swap the boh pils grain with german pils and use hallertau instead of saaz for a standard green bottle euro lager.

The usual OG is 1.040-1.045 and the FG is when it stops fermenting (I rarely take FGs). I often use S189 pitched at 20C, fermented at 12C.

Conditioning is about a week in secondary with gelatine and polyclar at 8C (sometimes filtered if in a hurry). Then kegged.

You could condition it till the cows come home but it's so simple it doesn't really need it. It's quite hoppy with 30g at 15 minutes. Buy noble hops by the kg or it's expensive.

EDIT: I prefer the non-floor malted Boh Pils grain.

looks great Nick..... im not a melanoidin fan but one day try dropping your 60 min addition to 40 min and increasing the hops to get the same bitterness, and halve the late addition.

Trust me!

do the same for the euro lagers etc etc

It just works

I did a 10 minute (30IBUs) Hallertau Lager once ... WHOA! Was toooo much. Dam thing went GREEN.

Might try adding them at 40.

To be honest, I quite like euro lagers with nothing after 30 minutes.
 
oh i forgot the additions of amarillo and saaz at flame out. 15g each.
