hey all. I brewed a 2nd batch of the Bell's Two Hearted clone (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/bells-two-hearted-ale-clone-close-they-come-91488/). I call it James River IPA.
Anyway, the first batch was exact to the recipe and was spectacular! We brewed it again, but couldn't get Centennial hops, so subbed in Citra. I adjusted the amounts to get the same approx IBUs using BS2.
Well, tonight I took a hydro sample and it is WAY different. Very citrusy. It's not bad, but just different.
Anyway, I still have to dry hop and the recipe would call for more Citra (original was all Centennial). I don't want to boost the citrus any more than it already is. What would you suggest? I have the following on hand:
German Select 5.3%AA 1 oz
Mt. Hood 5.9%AA 1 oz
Fuggles 5.7%AA 3 oz
Nugget 14.3%AA 1 oz
What say you, oh wise HBT friends?
