    Nada, it's "hop-bursted" as a means of specifically avoiding it. I mean, you can add them if you wish...but it's quite hoppy.

    Ha! That would be awesome. My house red would be Sansa. Start out sweet but finish with a bite.

    Lots of fairly esoteric recipes posted here. Thanks for posting one that is straightforward and very tasty looking. It's on my to-brew list.

    This looks good. Can you tell us why you're using Golden Promise over regular 2-row? Not being familiar with that kind of grain, I'd like to know how I can use it in my beers.

    This recipe has been modified from the original, and this post is to note those changes.

    Towards the end of the keg, and then in another beer with the same malt bill, but slight reduction in hops, it became apparent that the flaked barley in this recipe was adding a slight grain flavor on the back end. While it wasn't necessarily unpleasant, it did detract from the hops and muddle the malt profile a bit. The purpose of the flaked barley was to aid in head retention, but the benefits don't outweigh the negatives.

    I brewed up a 1 gallon batch of this recipe without the flaked barley, and felt that the hops popped a bit more, and the beer finished cleaner. This is more in line with what I want from this recipe.

    In summation, the .25 lbs of flaked barley has been removed, and .25 lbs added to the GP.

    Cheers!

    I am a little late with this, but I thought I would post a picture of my version of JohnSnowNM's beer. I have to say, it was delicious and one of the better APA's that I have brewed.

    This beer is very citrusy and is not bitter at all (as could be guessed from the hopping schedule). This said, the beer is also not overly malty or sweat. The hop additions are totally sufficient to balance it out. I would describe it as citrus up front, some malt in the middle, and then a nice quick fade to slightly bitter.

    Good job on this recipe JohnSnowNM! I give this a BA thumbs up.


    **Should have mentioned this above but I followed the exact recipe that OP posted.

    Are the FO additions done as traditional FO or at a particular temp? Also, how long are you letting the hops steep at FO?
    How come you are ramping up the fermentation temp?

    Yeah, they are regular FO additions, but I usually bring the temp down below 170° and do a 10 min hopstand/whirlpool. I didn't put that information up because people seem to have their own preferred methods for FO additions. I'm pretty sure most would do a longer stand/whirlpool.

    I raise the temperature on all my ales to aid completion...just a part of my personal process.

    I am still experiencing with my FO additions so I was curios how you did it to get the desired flavor for this recipe. I also just posted a thread about ramping up temp, so I was curios on that as well. Thanks for the reply.
