This beer is DELICIOUS! I will be making this again! Lots of great comments from friends.
It's not excessively bitter, and the large dry hop and grapefruit zest really brought out the Citra fruity aroma. I made no attempt to prevent the cloudiness of the beer, so it's cloudy, but that's what I like.
I was inspired by Cigar City's Guayaberas to make an IPA that was not excessively bitter, but was very juicy and delicious, with large grapefruit notes.
Brewing notes:
There are very little hops used in the boil. Only 1 oz at 60 mins. 2 ounces went into the kettle at a 180º whirlpool, which I stirred for 15 minutes. I used a large amount of hops, -5oz-, to dry hop, along with the zest of two grapefruits. The dry hop and zest were added in sanitized bags, with a sanitized spoon to make them sink.
I used distilled water built up to the specifications listed in my water chemistry profile
I'd even like to try the recipe again and adjust the hop schedule. I didn't think it was excessively bitter, but I'd like to try skipping the 60 minute boil and adding a 10 minute hop addition. I'll try it when I'm not as burned out on NE IPA's.
