Citra and/or Cascade

[AnthonyD]

I'm just quaffing another of Oakham Ale's fantastic Citra beers and it got me thinking about potential recipies.

Does anyone have one that maybe uses a bit of Cascade too? A nice summery pale ale, a bit of wheat malt perhaps too?

[Naich]

It's probably just my dodgy brewing skills, but I've had a couple of goes at a Citra/Cascade brew and it's never turned out right. I've done Citra and Cascade single hoppers which have been lovely, but I've never managed to get them to mix nicely.

Take any Citra recipe you like and add a relatively smaller addition of Cascade at 30 or 40 minutes remaining, no Cascade later to counteract with Citra's superior aromas. A (potentially, anyway) very nice combo.

Citra 15g 60mins
Citra 9g 30mins

60min mash, 60min boil

it's very very nice indeed

I can recommend all citra in the boil/whirlpool/stand and an all cascade dry hop - although mine was NZ cascade which might have helped. melded very well imo

Nice recipe that.

it is. Chris at Morley Home Brew gave me the recipe, I've done it for myself a couple of times & one batch for a mate too
