Sampling Citra

[jonnyt]

I'm looking this week to make a single hop brew using Citra to get a feel for the Hop.
I don't want it over powering but would like a nice refreshing drink for a Summers day.

How does this look:

Ruddo Citra (American IPA)

Original Gravity (OG): 1.058 (°P): 14.3
Final Gravity (FG): 1.015 (°P): 3.8
Alcohol (ABV): 5.70 %
Colour (SRM): 7.9 (EBC): 15.6
Bitterness (IBU): 37.6 (Tinseth)

94.34% Maris Otter Malt
3.77% Torrified Wheat
1.89% Crystal 120

0.8 g/L Citra (15% Alpha) @ 90 Minutes (First Wort)
0.8 g/L Citra (15% Alpha) @ 10 Minutes (Boil)
0.8 g/L Citra (15% Alpha) @ 0 Minutes (Aroma)
0.3 g/L Citra (15% Alpha) @ 0 Days (Dry Hop)

0.2 g/L Irish Moss @ 10 Minutes (Boil)

Single step Infusion at 66°C for 90 Minutes. Boil for 90 Minutes

I'm deliberately trying to keep 50g of Citra back for another brew but am open to suggestions.
Will this recipe showcase Citra or do I really need to bung the lot in and make a hop bomb?

I have found Citra has a lovely delicate flavour when used in moderation, I use a gram a litre for last 20 and the beer has the finesse of a kiss, rather than a smack in the chops.

You look like you have it spot on to me.
