1/2 Lb Munich Malt
1/2 Lb Cara Pils Malt

You know the drill...155 deg for 45 min then sparge with 170 deg water. Approx 1 qt of sparge water for every 2 Lb of grain

5 Lb of Extra Pale ALe Extract

Bittering hops 1 oz Citra 60 min

Flavor hops 1 oz Citra 15 min

Aroma hops 1 oz Citra 5 min

White Labs California Ale V 051 or Weast American AleII (I use WL)

Final Gravity should be appx 1.013

I dry hop after the primary in the keg with another 1 oz of Citra. This time one keg had the pellet Citra the other had 1 oz of whole leaf Simco hops. We will see what a difference it makes ;o). One thing is for sure the whole leaf hops float like a mother....I thought I used enough marbles to weig them down but it was only enough to make the hop bag look like a bobber lmao.
Thanks! My pound of citra should be in this week. Some citra single hops are definitely in the works.
