Just had a taste of this. It's still at 1.020 so has a bit to go.
But holy crap. Why would anyone buy citra (they're probably cheaper)? Fruity or what! I won't know what to expect till the gravity has dropped more and there's a bit of carbonation, but I was not expecting this!
Here's the recipe. Will dry hop with 70g eventually.
Amount Item Type % or IBU
4.00 kg Pale Malt (2 Row) UK (5.9 EBC) Grain 64.52 %
1.50 kg Munich Malt (17.7 EBC) Grain 24.19 %
0.20 kg White Wheat Malt (4.7 EBC) Grain 3.23 %
70.00 gm Bramling Cross [6.00 %] (60 min) Hops 43.2 IBU
70.00 gm Bramling Cross [6.00 %] (20 min) Hops 26.1 IBU
70.00 gm Bramling Cross [6.00 %] (0 min) Hops -
0.50 kg Dememera Sugar (3.9 EBC) Sugar 8.06 %
1 Pkgs Safale American (DCL Yeast #US-05) Yeast-Ale
Looks nice ;)
I'm like yerself and think Bram X is a great hop. I think I read somewhere that when it first came out years ago it was looked down on as being inferior to the likes of Goldings.
Thats great especially with citra being in short supply.
It makes the top 6 on top of the hops:
