Can't make my mind up what to cut the Citra with. I'm going for a summer ale. Best bitter strength. Mainly Belgian pale malt a tad wheat, carapils and despite not really buying into non malted adjuncts after the malted oats were just too rich for my last brew im going down the porridge oats route.
For hops It's either chinnok or challenger with very late Citra. Anyone tried either combination? Cheers

Re: Citra and......
No, but I think you're right to bitter with something other than citra. I find single hop citra a bit 'hard' somehow.

Not on their own, but with Cascade and Centennial additions. You won't go far wrong with Chinook for bittering and also flavour, then Citra late.

Cheer. Chinook it is. Citra on its own is fine if there's a little body and residual sweetness to stop it tasting astringent. The problem then is you end up with breakfast beer. Actually that isn't a problem it's more a lifesyle choice! I'm after something a little more grown up this time and this should do it. Thanks again
