Seymour Citra Gold

[Kohoutec]

I've just weighed out my grains for tomorrow's brew, which is a kinda Citra Gold.

I'm using all Citra (with a couple of extra additions) and in the spirit of the original it's a bit of a user upper, so has a little caramalt added, and a bit more MO than planned to finish off the sack.
Hopefully it will still turn out well!

quick question regarding the peel. Im going to use a half grapefuit and half orange and just peel the entire skin off and chuck it into the boil. is this acceptable?

[Jocky]

I would just use the zest myself - the coloured part of the skin. The white pith underneath it is just bitter and won't add anything good.

[barry44]

Nice one, cheers.

Brewed it earlier today, used the zest from one orange and half a red grapefruit. I am really looking forward to this one, it should be ready for the final of the euros and my caravan holiday!!

I checked on the fv this morning in the fridge and this smells amazing. Can't wait to get in about it.

First taste after a fortnight in the bottle and it's a belter!!

This will be getting brewed on rotation.

Due to the lack of Citra available..could this be brewed with Cascade

You can use any hop you like. It would no doubt taste great with cascade

Sorry for the delay. I agree, yes. This is a very adaptable recipe, a good starting point for pretty much any hop trial.

Or just buy some Citra.
