Lemondrop IPA

[mk019127]

Making small adjustments to a Clawhammer recipe to give lemondrop a try. Also my first time using brewer's friend for a recipe and will have some new equipment going so looking forward to it. Main changes I've made are bumping up the grain bill for a higher gravity... and simplicity in ordering, adjusting the hop schedule a little, reducing boiling time, and fermentation temp.

Anything sticking our or suggestions are much appreciated. Really hoping for light color with a smooth mouthfeel and rounded citrus flavor. Thanks!

That will indeed be citrus.

Depending on your equipment, you might consider a half pound of rice hulls to counter that wheat and oats. Makes things flow better.

Personally, that is a complex hops bill, I like things simple, but I do not see anything 'wrong' with it. Just complex.

I would love to hear how this turns out!

maybe add couple grapefruits worth of zest! just to put it over the top

Those other hops will most likely overpower the lemon drop however it looks like it will be super tasty
