Balls Deep In Citra (Balls Deep Series #1)

Balls Deep In Citra American IPA, is the first installment in are Balls Deep Single hop American IPA Series. This huge West Coast Style American IPA is brewed with 7 malt varieties and 6 specialty malts. We brewed this beer with 100% American Citra hops. This IPA had hops added to the boil every 4 minutes over a 60 minute boil, equalling 15 hop additions to the boil, this American IPA was first wort hopped (FWH), continually hopped throughout the boil and was hop bursted in the back end of the boil. Then we double dry hopped this beer in the secondary fermentation for two consecutive weeks. In total overall, this American IPA has 18 total hop additions overall. We used 3 hop techniques in the boil of this American IPA to maximize the glory of the lupluin in Citra hops to it's full potency. This beers concept is based around the mouthfeel, texture and body of a Oatmeal Stout, and have a West Coast Style American IPA in drinkability and a Imperial IPA in complexity, resins and bitterness.
