Bramling X pale ale

[admin]

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

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.
