Taste and Aroma are phenomenal. Bursts of citrus and pine resin. Elements of orange peel and fresh squeezed ruby red grapefruit juice. Nicely balanced, not bitter. In fact, Molly didn't know it was an IPA when she tasted - and she liked it! It has a sweet, honey, hoppiness that may be a little over the top for some. Not grassy or vegetal.

Check out this clip of my buddy tasting a bottle along side a Summit Pale that he brewed...this about sums it up

Fermentation temp IMO is too high for that yeast. also why such a long fermentation? 14 days primary with dry hop should be long enough. Also Zombie dust Clone is a great all Citra IPA with a really good malt bill.

If your going to post in the recipe section at least post the recipe

And your hyperlink doesnt work.

Sorry - I updated my original post with the recipe and a tasting video that works. Check it again!

Also - ideally fermentation temp should probably be in the 60's, but I didn't control the temp and my room was about 70. Came out great!

Where can you find these now? I go through Northern Brewer for stuff and they are out of the pellets.

Label Peelers has pellet bags listed on their site. Just got a pound last week from them.

How long did you folks leave this in the primary fermenter before moving to secondary? My hydrometer broke the other day so I'm trying this one by feel
