In this episode of Can You Brew It, Jamil and Tasty attempt to clone Citra Double IPA from Kern River Brewing Company in Kernville, CA. This wonderful craft beer took gold at the Great American Beer Festival in 2011 and has racked up many other awards as one of the best double IPA’s on earth. Tune in and find out if Tasty was able to homebrew this hop monster of a beer.

Needs a 2L Starter using 200g of DME

https://shop.theelectricbrewery.com/pages/kern-river-citra-double-ipa

add 500mg potassium metabisulphite to 20 gallons water to remove chlorine / chloramine (if required).
Water treated with brewing salts to our Hoppy flavour profile: Ca=110, Mg=18, Na=16, Cl=50, SO4=275 (Basically Randy Mosher's ideal Pale Ale numbers with slightly less Sulphate). For complete details on how to adjust your water, refer to our step by step Water Adjustment guide.
1.25 qt/lb mash thickness.
Single infusion mash at 148F for 120 mins.
Raise to 168F mashout temperature and hold for 10 mins.
~90 min fly sparge with ~5.6-5.8 pH water (measured at mash temperature). Collect 13.9 gallons.
Milwaukee MW102 pH meter
MORE INFOBoil for 60 minutes, adding Whirlfloc and hops per schedule.
After boil steep / whirlpool for 20 minutes with the lid on. (No need to stir, steeping is fine. Hop oil extraction is a function of contact time and temperature, not motion).
With the lid still on, cool the wort quickly to 67F (we use a one-pass convoluted counterflow chiller to quickly lock in hop flavour and aroma) and transfer to fermenter.
Aerate well. Pure oxygen from a tank may be used at a rate of 1 litre per minute for 120 seconds per 5 gallons.
Pitch yeast and ferment at 67F (wort temperature). We use modified stainless fermenting buckets in wine fridges.
Due to the high hopping rates and quadruple dry hopping the beer is very susceptible to oxidation. You have to be very careful to minimize all exposure to oxygen in order to preserve the hop flavours and aromas. Even hops themselves can have oxygen caught in their anatomy. Some hints:
If a vessel needs to be opened, purge the headspace with CO2 before closing.
Before adding hops to beer, place them in a tall container and flush with CO2.
Flush target vessels with CO2 before transferring beer. If hops are to be added at the same time (i.e. dry hop #2), add them to the vessel first.
Don't be stingy with CO2! CO2 is cheap. To flush vessels, growlers, kegs we have a separate bare gas line off one of our manifolds with its own shutoff.
Add dry hops #1 once fermentation is nearing completion (i.e. 5 points from terminal gravity) and raise the temperature to 70-72F. We simply turn off the fermenting fridges and allow the beer to naturally rise to room temperature. Steep dry hops #1 for 3 days while fermentation finishes. Assume fermentation is done if the gravity does not change over ~3 days.
Add dry hops #2 to brite tank (we use 5 gallon glass carboys), purge with CO2 to avoid oxygen pickup, then carefully rack in the beer on top of the hops. Allow to steep for 3 days at 70-72F room temperature, gently swirling a few times a day. We do not recommend using hop sacks or other containers as you'll get the best flavour extraction from the hops if you let them roam free. For beers such as this that require multiple dry hop additions, some will dry hop in kegs using stainless steel dry hoppers, tying a piece of unflavoured / unwaxed dental floss to the lid to make it easy to remove (the floss is thin and doesn't impede the seal between the keg and keg lid). We don't recommend this approach as we find that the hops tend to clump together which in turn reduces oil extraction, requiring far too many hops to be used (and more beer lost to absorption).
After 3 days in the brite tank add dry hops #3. Leave previous hops in. Swirl gently a few times a day.
After 6 days in the brite tank add dry hops #4. Leave previous hops in. Swirl gently a few times a day.
After 9 days in the brite tank package as you would normally. We rack to kegs that have first been purged with CO2, and then carbonate on the low side (around 2 volumes of CO2) to minimize carbonic bite and let the hop and malt flavours shine through. We chill the kegs to near freezing while carbonating at the same time in a 6-keg conditioning fridge. After ~1-2 weeks at serving pressure the kegs will be carbonated and ready to serve. Like all hop forward beers this Double IPA is best consumed fresh so feel free to raise the CO2 pressure temporarily to 30-40 PSI to carbonate fast over a 24 period, and then turn back down to serving pressure. Some hop bits will have invariably made their way into the keg during transfer so we use a Hop Stopper Keg Edition filter to ensure that hops do not clog the dip tube and/or end up in the glass. Force carbonating at high pressure and using a Hop Stopper filter allows us to serve this beer 24 hours after kegging. There's no need to wait a few days for any hop bits that made their way into the keg to first settle out.
We do not recommend using finings such as unflavoured gelatin as it may "round off" hop flavours / aromas.

Notes: Chilled to under 70 and pitched 1L starter. No other issues. Need to adjust grain mill to a finer setting, the efficiency was off. After tasting, it is great but might add more lactose next time. It is nice and creamy now on nitro.

Note the efficiency of this batch is set at 73% so your starting gravity may be higher.

Notes: Continental Pilsner book by David Miller gives PU stats:
OG: 1.049 FG: 1.014 IBUs: 43 Color: 4.2°L
This recipe is close to all these except color. Hoping the double decoction darkens it that much - probably will.
Traditional pilsner mash schedule discussed in this book is triple. 95 mash in. 1/3 mash removed, brought to 158(!) for at least 15min. and then boiled 15 min. Returned to mash to raise to 122. Next decoction raises the mash temp to 149 (not 158…) and then the next decoction raises it to 168. Also says NOT to get sparge water above 168.
However, since we live in the real world, he suggests ONE low-temp rest at 131 as a good compromise for peptidase, glucanase and protease. We could mash in there. Pull first decoction, rest at 158 and then boil, add it back in to raise main mash up to 149 or 153-4. Then another decoction to get it to 168.
He suggests 75 min. boil, with traditional 3 hop additions, at least at PU. Cool and ferment at 48-50. Suggests 4-5 weeks of lagering.
---------------------------
OK, that was what the book said.

Made starter - next time use 10-1 ratio.

Mash-in - Had the burner on full, no mishaps so disc was very hot. Overshot strike temp we think, and temp settled at 135 even after adding 2 quarts of cool water. Main mash at 135. Pulled 14 quarts of thickest part, brought to 158 for 15 min. Brought to boil for 15 min. Added back to main mash to bring it up to 143 from 127ish. Recirculated to bring up to 153-154. Rested for 45 minutes. Pulled 15 quarts and brought to boil for 15 min. Added back in to raise to 168 for 10 minutes. Worked!!

First runnings 1.071 - sparged for 80 min. - only collected 12 g. or so because the gravity of the runnings went down to 1.006 - maybe because the sparge temp. dropped a fair bit??

Boiled 75 min. and afterwards it was 1.068 so we added a lot of filtered water to bring the gravity to 1.054. Cooled to 60 and pitched 2 vials and the starter.

Very active fermentation which started in about 12-24 hours. Fermented 3 weeks, which dropped it to 13-14. Diacetyl rest for 2 days at 62 degrees (40 watt bulb in heater could only maintain 62, even though outside temp was 70 during the day). Cold crashed to 38° for 5 days. Racked to kegs on day 28 - dryhopped and stored cold for one week. Mark dryhopped for 2 weeks.

When racking, tasted fairly thin and not so malty - decent hop bitterness. Carbonated and stored cold for.......a while. Tasting improved markedly as time when on. 2 weeks - crappy, thin and soapy - 4 weeks, drinkable, more hop bitterness evident, still not a lot of malt. Nah... just crappy. Crappy until I poured it down the sink. Very sad.
