Looking at doing this as my next brew. Quick question, I have a bottle of the Citra Hop Aroma Oil, Could I use the whole bottle as a sub for 170gram Citra Dry Hop to keep costs down?

Thanks

Probably should have said WA, it is 15ml, the packet suggests a rate of 2ml per 23L batch - I stuck 2ml in a batch of lager, and could not taste any difference, that is why I was thinking of dumping the lot into it. 170g is a lot of hops, and was thinking of just going for it! Besides it is cheaper than 170g of Citra hops (that works out at about £10!!!).

Thanks WA

Man,
Go on then, do it! :D
You know you want to.
If it was me I would split the brew to see difference between Hops and Juice.

Will you be at the Fest this weekend? #-o

Hi WA, no unfortunately I will not. Truth be told I have only got back into brewing since Easter. After having a child for the first time in 2015 it has taken me a while to get my brewing mojo back, but decided to treat myself to a Grainfather as a welcome back present! So, have only recently seen the Festival details and could defo not clear that with the wife. Perhaps next year? The only problem I have with it is that it falls on GCSE and A Level Exam Season, ad being a teacher I like to mark for extra cash, so wouldnt be able to if I was to do the festival.

I take it you are going?

Man,
You didn`t say if you would split the brew.
Yes, I am going to the Fest tomorrow.
Got to go early to get the best seat nearest the FREE bar! :D #-o #-o

Very nice.
I was quite surprised I could taste the dark grains. Hop flavour was decent, without too much bitterness.
I'd brew it again.

Cracking beer, got the grist to rebrew it myself after my last batch as it was so lovely.

Thanks mbarn and demig, and thanks to Seymour for developing this beer. Think I will brew this the end of next month, so it will be ready when it cools, a bit, here in central Florida.

Finally got round to ordering this in, someone has previously made it up as a kit on the MM site without the Citra however I have 500g of that to get through in the freezer so will be good to go.

I plant to brew this in a couple of weeks once I get a Kolsch out of the way. The plan is to let it ferment out for as long as needed, I will dry hop directly in the keg at warmer temps for a week at least whilst force carbonating and then cool it down to let the hop settle down to the bottom (I used a Corny which has been modded to dispense from the top).
