Brewer's Friend calculates out to just over 70. Mosaic and Citra are both pretty high AA hops.

IMHO Citra (and perhaps Mosaic, to a lesser extent) is wasted as a bittering hop -- the fruity/floral flavor & aroma are its best features, so use it for aroma/flavor/dry hop, and something else for bittering.
quote:Completely agree. Magnum is our go-to bittering hop in just about all of our beers for a couple reasons: It's cheap, easy to find, pretty high alpha, clean, and has excellent storability.
Magnum
quote:Cool, thanks for the input everyone!
Kyle, I'd move that 60 min Mosaic addition to flameout and replace it w/ something like Magnum, Galena, Columbus/CTZ, or even Chinook. Magnum/Galena tend to be more neutral, but CTZ and Chinook both play really well w/ IPAs. We use CTZ in our Double IPA for bittering but also have a small addition of it in the whirlpool. It's really dank/resiny and often gets overlooked for other "finishing" hops, but it works great as a dry-hop as well.
quote:Cool, let me know how it works for you! You'll probably see some errors in some of the calculation cells as you're entering info, but those will all go away as you enter everything the particular cell needs. I'm still chasing down some of the errors to add in checks in the formulas to avoid them.
Looks good Kyle! I'll try using it next time I brew, which will hopefully be this weekend.
I finally found a great deal on a 15CF freezer on Craigslist. I plugged in my STC-1000 and put my ESB currently in Secondary into it to christen it. Now my kegerator can go back to serving only.
quote:Dave...what temperature and pressure are you serving at? Are they 3/16" lines?
The lower PSI even with the small ID should keep it from spraying out. It might also be an issue of line length. I have about 5' of line from keg to tap.
