Notes

This is a quick easy (DME) experiment using Meridian hops. I had a Meridian pale ale and was very surprised! Meridian gives a nice smooth juicy lemon flavor. Might scale it down to 2.5 to prevent blow off.

In the hop listing add .45 Citra & .45 Meridian at 0 min flame out for aroma and flavor. Let it Hopstand (I used whirlpool for lack of option) for 10 if sanitary for some IBUs. Otherwise this is a great Pale Ale too.

After fermentation (give it 2 weeks) dry hop with .60 Citra + .60 Meridian for another 3-5 days.

Transfer to secondary and cold crash (if you can) for a day or two before priming and bottling.
