- Tasting Notes
- Very forward Citra hop aroma, tangerine and mild grapefruit flavor, gentle bitterness
This is my second go at this recipe, using the judges notes I received. They said that for the APA style, it was a touch too bitter (almost pushing it into the IPA category), and I should either lower my bittering hops, or increase my malt profile. I chose to decrease my bittering hops from 1 oz. to .5 oz, and added the extra .5 oz at 10 minutes to really kick the citrus flavor home. I also increased my .5 oz. citra dry-hop to a full ounce.
MALTS
½ lbs. Cara Pills (5.9%)
½ pilsner malt (5.9%)
½ lbs. Honey Malt (5.9%)
1 lb. flacked Wheat (11.8%)
6 lbs. Extra Light Dry Malt Extract (70.6%)
HOPS
.5 oz. Cascade (60 min.)
1 oz. Cascade (20 min.)
.5 oz. Cascade (10 min.)
1 oz. Citra (5 min.)
1 oz. Citra (secondary)
ADJUNCTS
½ oz. Diced Fresh Ginger Root (added to secondary with Citra)
YEAST
Safale U.S. 05 (S-05)
After being in the bottle for just 2 weeks, the judge's advise really turned out. The tangerine and grapefruit flavors are stronger, and the bitterness is just right for my taste. Best beer I've brewed to-date.
