Citra hops into a modified beer kit..?

Siphoned onto 50g remaining dry hops of the Citra pellets, these hops smell so good!

4-5 days and bottle, loving the smell !

Gone Man! Solid Gone!

Really looking forward to the hop explosion of 100g Citra in 20L of beer

No kidding, that's gonna be pretty crazy!
I submitted an APA to a contest taking place next weekend. Though not quite as intense as yours, my batch used 85g Citra dry hops. Wish me luck!

Nice one. Guessing that was an AG recipe? What did it look like?

Well, this is your thread, so I guess I'm not going too off-topic.

Here you go. I'm pretty proud of it. If I win, don't brew this commercially or you could get sued
I'm not counting on it though, I personally know some of the other competitors who are geniuses at APAs and A-IPAs.

Excellent!

Now, hops have been in 3 days (since Thu night), I had a sneaky sample and the hops arent blowing me away, it smells great however

I thinking of ordering another 50g pellets and adding them. Am I being too hasty and should I leave the dry hopping longer?

[Liverpool-Lad]

DOnt want to go too mad, so leaving as is for now.

Also spied this..hmmm. MonkeyBrew I think you should make this

That's awesome, congratulations Monkeybrew and WalesAles! Which competition, which categories, which beers?

Seriously, Liverpool-Lad, do you want us to start a new thread?

Seymour,
No need to start a new thread, look in `Another Competition` on `Kit Brewing Questions and Answers` page.
