WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

This is a delightful extract IPA with a light maltiness that profiles Citra’s tropical fruit flavor and aroma.

EXTRACT
OG: 1.059
FG: 1.013
IBUs: 118
ABV: 6%

MALT/GRAIN BILL
8 lb (3.6 kg) Pale liquid malt extract (Note - I changed to 7 lb LME + 0.5 lb DME to get to correct OG)
1 lb (454 g) Crystal 10 malt
0.5 lb (227 g) Munich malt

HOPS SCHEDULE
1 oz (28 g) Citra at 60 minutes
1 oz (28 g) Citra at 30 minutes
1 oz (28 g) Citra at 15 minutes
1 oz (28 g) Citra at 0 minutes
2 oz (57 g) Citra at dry hop

DIRECTIONS
Heat 5 gallons of water to 170°F (77°C). Steep the grains for 30 minutes. Bring the wort to a boil. Once you reach a rolling boil, add a quarter of the malt extract. Boil for 60 minutes following the hops schedule. After flameout, add the remaining malt extract.

YEAST
1 packet Safale S-05

BREWER’S NOTES
Let ferment at 68°F (20°C) for 2 weeks. After fermentation, add the remaining hops to the vessel. Dry hop for 1 week, then bottle or keg.

Brewed 11/28/21. Used imperial flagship yeast and 1lb of 10 degree cara? Malt as they did not have crystal. Bumped up DME to 15 oz vs 8 oz in recipe as I wanted to be closer to 6%. At 5 gallons the OG was 1069. Fermented for 10 days with FG of 1015. Adjusted yeast attenuation up.

Drunk after 2 weeks in keg. Lovely aroma and citrus taste, but too much bitterness that lasted a while.
