Steep - 2 gallons
Boil - 4 gallons
Post Boil - 3.8 gallons (so a little bit more than 3.5)
11oz Crystal 60
4LB Golden Light DME
2oz Corn Sugar
1.3 oz Citra (14.1a%) @ 15 min
.55 oz Citra @ 10 min
.35 oz Citra @ 5 min
.35 oz Citra @ Flameout
1/2tsp Irish Moss @ 10 min
Pitched rehydrated Nottingham Yeast.
OG - 1.050 (although my thermometer broke moments before so I don't know the temp of the wort to make the proper adjustment)
Going to ferment in 5gal glass carboy until gravity stays same for three days, then dry hop 1oz Citra for 7 days. All just in the primary.
Had a couple mistakes. The one listed above about the temperature of my wort sample for measuring OG. Also forgot to put grain bag or strainer over funnel when pouring wort into carboy. I'll just tie a grain bag to the end of my auto-syphon when I rack to keg.
Took me a little over two hours counting clean up. Could probably get this done in under two hours with wort chiller though.
Looks good. Although you adjusted the amounts, I'm curious to see how the higher %aa and more pronounced flavor profile on the Citra will come through. Keep us posted. I think I might try a 2.5 gallon test batch with Citra for comparison with the Cascade version. Cheers.
