Chicarillo APA

[MikeB]

Brewing tonight, oh yes :party:

Just can't get enough of the American hops and their awesome aroma and citrusy flavour. I've just started drinking my Citra IPA that was bittered with Challenger and had a whole load of Citra for aroma, and I'm well chuffed with the results so tonight I'm going to experiment with something similar:

Looking for more of that insanely orangey taste from the Amarillo but I also want something a bit more complex, so will be intrigued to see what the Chinook does...

Also loving the clean taste that S-05 gives me, but would appreciate comments from anyone who has used Whitelabs Californian or similar, to see if it's worth spending the extra :thumb:

Cheers! :

I've seen it claimed a number of times on t'interwebs that US05 and WLP001 Californian Ale are the same yeast. I have no idea whether this is actually the case.
