Homebrew: Citra IPA

Brew up a Citra Single Hop IPA for the summer today. I crushed the grain extra-fine today, and for once I reached an efficiency of 75%. Wasn’t really expecting it, so overshot my OG with about 0.005 points (ended up with an OG of 1.070 [17.8 brix]). The brewday went without problems, and 20L of beer is currently fermenting at 18C in the fermentation fridge. Should be ready in about a month. Will dry hop with 70g of Citra (used 130g in the boil from two 100g packs) once the primary fermentation is over in about two weeks. You can find the recipe along with some pictures from the brewday below:
