So i have brewed this:
5gal
OG 1.060
IBU 60
pale ale malt
1oz Citra 60min
1oz Citra 10min
1oz Wai-Iti 10min
3oz Wai-Iti 0min
no dryhops
Upon bottling it not only smelled citrusy as expected but also tasted a bit like citrus/acid. Is it normal or is that infection? I never thought that hops could
taste citrusy, it really tastes like a summer refresher kinda beer.
I also added about 100ppm (0.1g/l or 0.38g/gal) citric acid to the water to lower the mash ph somewhat, according to a post here it should be below the taste treshold.
(both of these hops are described pretty citrusy)
